South Sudan's National Team Were Stranded At The Airport In Libya For 3 Hours. by obembet(op): 10:24am On Mar 25, 2025
The South Sudan national team, also known as the Bright Star, has found itself in a precarious situation in Libya, eerily similar to the experience of the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, in 2024.

The team has been stranded at the Benina International Airport in Benghazi, Libya, for hours without access to food or water.

A statement from the South Sudan Football Association disclosed that the team’s passports were seized by the Libyan Migration authority, and they were left to wait for hours without any representation from the Libyan Football Association.

“A footage of Bright Star stranded for staggering three hours at Benina International Airport, Benghazi Libya… The passports of the delegation were sized by the Libyan Migration authority,” the statement read.

This incident bears a striking resemblance to the ordeal faced by the Nigerian national team in 2024.
Persecondnews recalls that the Super Eagles were also left stranded in Libya, denied access to food and the internet, ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

As the team prepares for their upcoming match, the incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability.

The Libyan Football Association has yet to comment on the matter, leaving many to wonder if the country is equipped to host international football teams.

Islamic Arabs have no value for blacks. No wonder they gave us the most useless flavour of islam.

Thats making three nations now they have delayed in order to have an edge over them physically in field.

I blame CAF for all this nonsense. What's actually the contribution of Libya to African sport?

It was never like this under Ghaddafi.

The country is technically at war. Libya should not be hosting matches.

What does it take to disband Libya from all CAF/FIFA competitions till they have political stability in their country?

Instead of endangering the lives of innocent players and officials

You see what a bigot you are?
How many times have you accused the white Christians who came to Africa and unleash genocide upon your great grandparents in the name colonization as evil European Christians? The barbarity of white Christian invaders and the hell they unleashed on Africans is unmatched in historical terms!

Or better still, 'disapprove' them from hosting international matches. They would then be forced to borrow stadia from neighbouring countries. Which means, if they play at home, they will still have to travel!

It's happening again because CAF is not hard on its punishment to them.
