President of the Libyan Football Federation, Abdelhakim Al-Shalmani, announced his resignation during a regular meeting of the Federation’s General Assembly.
According to The Libya Observer, an English and Arabic online newspaper based in Tripoli, Libya, in a post on Monday via its website, the decision was made on Sunday.
Meanwhile, there is growing tension surrounding the treatment of the Nigerian national team ahead of a crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
“I do not want to be part of the failure in Libyan sports,” Al-Shalmani was quoted.
“We faced difficulties during the previous period,” he acknowledged, before expressing gratitude to his colleagues.
“I thank all members of the General Assembly, and I forgive everyone from all segments of the sports sector,” he added.
