In a thrilling advancement, Libya’s national basketball team has successfully qualified for the quarterfinals of the Arab Championship in Egypt. This came following their impressive victory over the Somali team on Saturday, with a final score of 81-72. This victory marks the team’s third consecutive win, having previously triumphed over the Mauritanian and Algerian teams.

The team commenced their match against Somalia with a decisive lead in the first quarter, ending it at 20-16. Despite a neck-and-neck second quarter, which concluded at a 17-17 draw, the first half favoured the national team with a score of 37-33, during which Somalia managed only two three-pointers.

In a dramatic second half, the Somali team initially led the third quarter 19-18 but failed to maintain the lead. Libya held a slender advantage of 55-52. The final quarter witnessed an end to Somali aspirations, by taking the quarter 26-20, culminating in the national team’s victory at 81-72. This win not only secured their place at the top of their group, but also ensured a perfect score in the tournament.

For basketball enthusiasts and supporters, this victory is a significant milestone, demonstrating Libya’s skill, determination, and potential for further success in the Arab Championship. The upcoming quarterfinals are eagerly anticipated, as the national team continues to showcase their talent on this prestigious international stage.

Despite facing challenges, Libyan basketball has made significant strides, showcasing talent and determination. The sport serves not just as a competition, but as a unifying force, bringing together diverse communities across Libya.
