The President of the Libyan Football Federation (LFF), Abdul-Mawla Al-Maghrabi, held a crucial meeting with national team head coach Aliou Cissé to discuss the future of the senior team.
The meeting took place at the LFF headquarters and focused on upcoming competitions, preparation strategies, and the overall technical direction of the national squad.
Coach Cissé, who recently took charge of the Libyan national team, was joined by his assistants Youssef Dabo, Mustafa Mohamed, and Khair Al-Din Al-Duwairi. The session covered a wide range of topics, including the team’s physical and tactical readiness, selection criteria, and priorities for the next phase of training and match preparations.
Al-Maghrabi reiterated the federation’s full support for Cissé’s technical project despite the financial difficulties currently facing Libyan football. He stressed the importance of unity and collective responsibility to support the team, commonly known as the “Knights of the Mediterranean”, as they prepare for key regional and international tournaments.
“The federation is committed to providing the necessary logistical and technical support to ensure the success of this project,” said Al-Maghrabi. “We trust the technical team’s vision and believe that, with proper backing, they can deliver the progress Libyan fans are hoping for.”
Coach Cissé thanked the federation for its support and outlined his vision for developing the team, emphasising discipline, long-term planning, and competitive spirit as core pillars of the national programme.
The meeting comes as the Libyan team gears up for upcoming qualifiers and friendlies, with the aim of restoring Libya’s presence on the continental stage.
The LFF called on all stakeholders to back the team and contribute to building a competitive and united national side that represents the aspirations of Libyan supporters.
