Notes
[edit]- ^ The Libya v Nigeria match, originally scheduled for 15 October 2024, was cancelled after the Nigerian team was allegedly left stranded at Al Abraq International Airport for more than 12 hours upon arrival, two days before the match.[4] This led the Nigeria Football Federation to refuse to play and send their team back home.[5] CAF later confirmed that the match would not take place and stated that a decision regarding its outcome would be made.[6] On 26 October, CAF announced that Nigeria were awarded a 3–0 walkover win, and applied fines against Libya.[7]
