Libyan U-20 team makes it to the final round of AFCON qualifiers
The Libyan U-20 football team has made it to the final round of the AFCON qualifiers by using the FIFA suspension of its opponent, Benin.
The Libyan Football Federation received Sunday a letter from the African Football Federation telling it that the FIFA suspended Benin’s participation in the AFCON qualifiers and the Libyan team qualifies, therefore, to the final round of the qualifier games.
Libya is going to play whoever wins the match between Zimbabwe and Cameroon, knowing that the AFCON 2017 will be held in Zimbabwe.
