Libyan Football Federation has threatened to boycott CHAN 2023

Published on: 02 January 2023

The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has stated that it may pull out of the African Nations Championship (CHAN), which will be hosted in Algeria from January 13 to February 4, 2023.

The LFF declared in a statement that it was complying with the measures imposed on it as a result of certain people's aim to interrupt the game.

According to the statement, the LFF was shocked by the release of rapid judgments to temporarily suspend the federation's accounts in fulfillment of the wish of individuals who seek personal objectives rather than the public good.

Below is the full statement:

"There are cases filed against the LFF in courts in violation of the rules and regulations of the LFF and the African and International Football Federations, which prohibit resorting to ordinary courts in sports disputes."

"We are now in the process of preparing to participate in a continental championship, and our team is in a training camp in Tunisia. We may have to withdraw if the capabilities are not available. The federation also has obligations with the foreign coach and his technical staff, who are bound by contracts and salaries to be paid on time."

"In our interest in the higher interest of the country, the matter requires the intervention of those concerned with the public interest, football in particular, to take measures that would ensure the progress of Libya's participation on the local level."
