Former Libya midfielder Moatasem Al-Musrati has criticized European media outlets for their allegedly biased reporting on the Super Eagles' ordeal in Libya.
Al-Musrati took to Facebook to express his discontent, claiming that European media circulated a "misleading and incomplete" story regarding the Nigerian team's treatment. The Super Eagles were subjected to inhumane conditions at Al Abaq Airport, leading to their return to Nigeria.
The Besiktas star countered that Libyan players faced similar poor treatment when they arrived in Uyo, Nigeria, via Port Harcourt last week. This, he implied, was conveniently omitted from European media reports.
The controversy surrounding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match has led to its postponement by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Originally scheduled for Tuesday, the game's new date remains uncertain.
Al-Musrati's comments highlight the perceived disparity in media coverage and the need for balanced reporting. As tensions between Nigeria and Libya's football federations escalate, accurate representation of events is crucial.
