Libyan Football Federation Launches Probe into Al Ahli Tripoli-Al Ittihad Match Incident
The decision was issued by the LFF Board of Directors under Resolution No. 96 of 2025. The investigative committee includes Ali Mahdi Al-Sanousi (Board Member), Al-Mabrouk Mohamed Shouia (Appeals Committee Member), and Adel Misbah Swaisi (Referees Committee Member).
According to the resolution, the committee is tasked with reviewing official complaints submitted by both clubs, Ahli Tripoli and Al-Ittihad, and will collect testimonies from all parties involved in the match-day events. The investigation will also include a full review of official reports and all available video footage and photographic evidence.
The committee must submit a detailed report within 72 hours of the decision's issuance. The report will outline the circumstances of the incident, identify responsibilities, and provide recommendations to the LFF Board.
The LFF also directed the Competitions Committee to postpone any decision regarding the outcome of the match until the investigation is complete. However, the Federation confirmed that the final round of the hexagonal stage will proceed as scheduled and will not be impacted by the ongoing inquiry.
The decision is effective immediately and is binding on all relevant entities.
Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.
Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.
The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.
Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.

Italian Companies Eye Benghazi Growth Opportunities
Belgassem Khalifa Haftar, Director General of Libya's Reconstruction and Development Fund, announced that major development projects in Benghazi are set to launch by the end of next year, as part of the city's transformation into a leading economic center in Libya. Speaking during the 'Amarna' podcast alongside Italian Ambassador to Libya, Gianluca Alberini, Haftar said the recent Libyan–Italian Economic Forum has opened wide channels of cooperation between Italy and Benghazi. The forum saw participation from nearly 100 Italian companies, signaling renewed international confidence in Libya's eastern region. He emphasized that Benghazi has now embarked on a serious path of reconstruction and growth, and that its economic revival is unmatched in recent history. 'By the end of next year, several large-scale projects will be inaugurated as scheduled,' he stated. Italian Ambassador Alberini echoed these sentiments, noting the momentum in Benghazi's development, and affirming that Italian firms are ready to begin operations following their participation in the forum. The remarks reflect a growing effort to attract foreign investment, rebuild critical infrastructure, and position Benghazi as a strategic gateway for economic recovery and international trade.

Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced on Saturday that the country's oil production has exceeded 1.3 million barrels in the past 24 hours, highlighting its commitment to maintaining stable output. According to the NOC's latest data, crude oil production reached approximately 1,378,000 barrels, while condensate output stood at 53,122 barrels. In addition, natural gas production totalled 2.539 billion cubic feet during the same period. The Corporation emphasized that these figures reflect ongoing efforts to stabilize production levels and ensure the continuity of operations across oil fields and infrastructure nationwide. Libya, a member of OPEC, continues to play a key role in global energy markets. Sustained output is seen as vital for supporting the country's economy and fulfilling export commitments, especially amid shifting dynamics in global oil demand.

Greece Accuses Libya & Turkey of Breaching International Law
Greece has strongly condemned a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) and Turkey's state energy company, TPAO, to explore four offshore zones in the eastern Mediterranean. The agreement, signed in Istanbul, outlines a two-dimensional seismic survey spanning 10,000 kilometres and processing of the data within nine months. Speaking at a press conference following the NATO summit in The Hague, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis labelled the MoU as 'unacceptable, illegal, and baseless,' asserting it carries 'no legal effect.' He argued that the deal undermines international maritime law and completely disregards the sovereignty of Greece, particularly the maritime rights of the island of Crete. Athens has long rejected the maritime boundary claims resulting from Turkish-Libyan agreements, stating that they ignore the presence of Greek islands and unfairly allocate vast swathes of maritime territory to Libya and Turkey. The Greek government intends to bring up the issue again during the European Council Summit in Brussels this week. Mitsotakis also revealed that he briefly met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the margins of the NATO gathering. 'The issues that needed to be raised were raised,' he noted, without disclosing details of the exchange. The maritime MoU between Libya and Turkey builds on a previous controversial agreement signed in 2019, which was also heavily criticised by Greece and the EU. That earlier accord was never ratified by Libya's House of Representatives and remains a source of regional tension. The latest deal has once again drawn Greece into a diplomatic standoff, with broader implications for EU-Turkey-Libya relations, energy exploration rights, and stability in the eastern Mediterranean.
