Libya, the bottom team, has chosen to host Group D leaders Nigeria at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Matchday 4 encounter.

The facility is located in Benina, some 19 kilometres outside the country’s second city, Benghazi.

The stadium, formerly known as Hugo Chávez Stadium, is a 10,000-capacity facility with artificial turf.

Both countries will do a Matchday 3 battle at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday, 11th October, before the clash in the city at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday, 15th October.

While the match in Uyo will kick off at 5pm, the battle in Benina will commence at 8pm Nigeria time.

Following a 1-1 home loss to Rwanda at the Tripoli International Stadium and a 1-2 loss to the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in Abidjan, Libya remains bottom of Group D after two rounds of matches.

Nigeria top the pool with four points after a 3-0 spanking of Benin Republic in Uyo on Matchday 1 and a scoreless draw with Rwanda’s Amavubi in Kigali on Matchday 2.
