Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, President of the Libyan Football Federation, has resigned from his position, citing his unwillingness to be part of the country’s sports failures.

The announcement was made during a General Assembly meeting on Sunday.

Al-Shalmani’s resignation comes amidst growing tensions surrounding the mistreatment of Nigeria’s national team ahead of a crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Nigerian team faced a 12-hour delay at Al-Abraq International Airport, sparking widespread condemnation.

In his address to the assembly, Al-Shalmani acknowledged the challenges faced during his tenure and expressed gratitude to his colleagues. “I thank all members of the General Assembly, and I forgive everyone from all segments of the sports sector,” he stated.

Defending his legacy, Al-Shalmani highlighted his achievements in international, Arab, and African football governance. “I have a history in the International, Arab and African Federation, and no one can deny that,” he added.

The resignation marks a significant development in Libyan football, with Al-Shalmani’s departure likely to have far-reaching implications for the sport in the country.
