Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, President of the Libyan Football Federation, resigned during a General Assembly meeting, citing dissatisfaction with the state of Libyan sports.
His resignation follows the controversy over the treatment of Nigeria’s national football team, who faced difficulties during their stay in Libya ahead of a crucial AFCON 2025 qualifier.
The Nigerian team was stranded at an airport for over 15 hours, leading to their decision to return home without playing the match.
Al-Shalmani emphasized his contributions to international football despite stepping down.
