The captain of the Benin national team, Steve Mounie, has hit out at how Libya treated him and his team-mates during their final game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Gernot Rohr’s men sealed qualification as Group D runners-up, thanks to a 0-0 draw in Tripoli.
They finished level on points with Rwanda, but booked their spot with a better goal difference.
After the game, Libyan supporters disrupted the celebrations of the Benin team, by hurling objects at the players inside Tripoli National Stadium.
Some Libyan security personnel allegedly attacked the team’s bus as they left the stadium, leaving Rohr and several others injured.
This comes a few weeks after the Super Eagles suffered a similar fate in Libya.
Recall that the Super Eagles’ players and officials were left stranded at the airport after arriving for the matchday four fixture in Libya.
