Episode description

Last month, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded Nigeria victory in a forfeited 2025 Nations Cup qualifier against Libya, and fined Libya $50,000.

It came after an investigation found that a plane carrying the Nigerian squad had been deliberately redirected to the wrong airport – where the Super Eagles were left for nearly 20 hours without food, water or internet access.

The incident has yet again exposed the unorthodox – and unsporting - tactics which are often used against visiting teams in African football.

So why has psychological and physical intimidation been allowed to continue?

Presenter: Mpho Lakaje

Guests: Sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, and Isha Johansen, former president of Sierra Leone Football Association, and a member of FIFA’s council, and the CAF executive committee.
