The head of the national teams committee at the Libyan Football Federation, Tarek Al-Tayeb, confirmed that the new Senegalese coach of the national team, Aliou Cissé, held his first training session in preparation for the match against Angola in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Al-Tayeb stressed that most players joined the training camp immediately after participating in Libyan Premier League matches. He explained that the team is working on determining the best tactical approach to face the Angolan national team. He acknowledged the challenging task ahead for the Senegalese coach, highlighting the need for significant effort to prepare the team properly.
"We have high hopes for a positive result, especially since the match will be held at home. We need a high level of focus from the players, particularly in both the defensive and attacking lines. Nothing is impossible despite the difficulty of the task," Al-Tayeb explained.
He called on Libyan fans to attend the match at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium in Benghazi on March 20, to support the national team and boost their motivation to secure victory in this crucial encounter.
