Thirty-one players have been selected for the Libyan national football team’s squad in preparation for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Angola and Cameroon. This comes after the Libyan Football Federation appointed Senegalese coach Aliou Cissé to lead the team until 2027, replacing Libyan coach Nasser Al-Hadeeri, who had taken over after the departure of Serbian coach Micho.
Libyan national team is set to begin a training camp in Benghazi on March 15, with player selection for the Angola and Cameroon matches handled by former assistant coaches Abubakr Al-Hark and Musbah Shangab.
Libya’s match against Angola is scheduled for Thursday, March 20, at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium, with spectators allowed to attend. The visiting Angolan team is expected to arrive on March 19.
Libyan Football Federation confirmed that the match against Cameroon will take place on March 25. The national team will depart for Cameroon on a chartered flight on March 23, with Cissé taking full charge of the team in both matches.
The Federation also announced that a representative, along with a team from a specialized company organizing the training camp, will oversee the team’s accommodations and logistics in Cameroon to ensure a professional setup for the Libyan squad.
