The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has strongly condemned what it calls the "unethical behavior" of Angola's national team players during their goal celebration in a recent World Cup qualifier.
The match, held on Thursday as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, ended in a 1-1 draw. However, Libya’s football authorities criticized the conduct of the Angolan players, arguing that their celebration was disrespectful to Libya, the spectators, and millions of television viewers.
In a statement, the Libyan federation described the incident as a "blatant violation" of sportsmanship and fair play, principles upheld by FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The federation has urged CAF’s disciplinary committee to take immediate action and enforce necessary regulations to prevent such incidents from recurring, emphasizing the need to uphold the integrity of the sport.
