* Unsporting behaviour in African football has been allowed for too long and it is time this conduct is dealt with once and for all, CAF president Patrice Motsepe has warned. He was addressing delegates at the CAF 46th Ordinary General Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Tuesday. Motsepe's stern warning came in the wake of Nigeria’s boycott of their Afcon qualifier in Libya last Tuesday after the Super Eagles were left stranded at a Libyan airport overnight. The continent's football governing body, has officially opened an investigation and said appropriate action will be taken against those who violated the rules.
