Nigeria vs Libya: Time and where to watch Super Eagles take on Mediterranean Knights in AFCON 2025 qualifier

The 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Nigerian Super Eagles and the Mediterranean Knights of Libya takes place at Uyo's Akwa Ibom Stadium, bringing international football back to the screen for football lovers.

After the second matchday, Nigeria leads group D, while Libya is still at the bottom of the standings with one point.

After going undefeated in their first two games, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are in strong shape as they aim to qualify for the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Nigeria won their first game 3-0 over Benin Republic and their last game ended in a goalless draw with Rwanda.

Libya, on the other hand, has struggled with their performance and currently sits last in Group D of the qualifying tournament with just one point.

In their home opener against the Amavubi of Rwanda, Libya were held to a 1-1 draw, but in their away game against Benin, they were defeated.

The Nigerian Super Eagles are currently playing well, and they will try to maintain this momentum in order to increase their chances of qualifying.

Nigeria has defeated Libya in all of their prior meetings which bodes well for the team as the Mediterranean Knights are targeting a draw.

Although many believe Nigeria will win, they will be missing their top forward Victor Osimhen, who has been in excellent scoring form since joining Galatasaray.

The AFCON 2025 qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Mediterranean Knights of Libya will be officiated by Malawian referees.

The Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has assigned Malawian-born referee Godfrey Philip Nkhakananga to be in charge of the event.

Additionally, Nkhakananga's fellow countrymen Clemence Kanduku and Joseph Nyauti have been named assistant referees 1 and 2, respectively.

Keabetswe Dintwa of Botswana will serve as the fourth official for the Matchday 3 match, which begins at 5 p.m.

The duties of referee assessor and broadcast venue manager will be filled by Issaka Boubacar of Niger and Mayowa Akingbemisilu, respectively, with Munkaila Nassam Adam of Ghana serving as the commissioner.

The officiating this round will be crucial after Nigerians lamented a disallowed Ademola Lookman goal against Rwanda.

The first leg between Nigeria and Libya will take place on Friday, October 11, 2024, and kick off at 5 PM local time.

It will be available to watch in Nigeria on NTA Sports 24, AfroSport TV and beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
