The Sudanese Football Association has reportedly informed Libyan authorities of a bizarre situation before their training at the Martyrs February Stadium.

In photos shared on social media, the sliced onions were spread on the pitch and in some parts of the technical bench.
The Sudan team is allegedly accusing Ghana of sprinkling the sliced onions on the pitch while also claiming the team is trying to cast a black magic spell on them before their crucial encounter.
Both teams need a win to enhance their chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next year.
The Black Stars have picked only two points out of nine in their opening three games of Group F, per ESPN.
Sudan game crucial for Ghana
The West African giants desperately need a win if they are to give their qualification chances any boost before the final two matches of Group F.
With two points from three games, the four-time African champions risk not qualifying for the tournament in Morocco should Sudan even get a point on Tuesday.
A win will catapult Ghana to second place as Angola inches close to securing their place in next year's tournament, having won all three matches.
Only two teams will qualify from each group for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
