Seasonal crises recur due to conflicts between the season's start date and CAF's schedule
The article discusses the tentative schedule for the start of the 2026-2027 Libyan football season, amid uncertainty surrounding the official final announcement due to conflicts with the dates of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) competitions, which begin in September and October. An initial date has been set for the Libyan Super Cup on August 25, while clubs are making limited preparations because of delays in finalizing the schedule. Teams such as Asswehly and Al-Ahli Tripoli are facing challenges due to poor coordination between domestic leagues and continental competitions. The schedule includes group stage and knockout matches in November and April 2027. Additionally, CAF has reduced the number of Libyan clubs participating in continental tournaments for the 2026-2027 season to one team each in the Champions League and Confederation Cup, reflecting Libya’s declining continental ranking, which complicates both domestic and continental preparations. CAF also announced the approval of three Libyan stadiums to host matches, providing opportunities for teams to play on home soil despite organizational difficulties related to starting preparations and the extended timeline. In response, Al-Ahli Tripoli has begun a foreign training camp to prepare for the upcoming season.
