A source close to the Libyan Football Federation stated that most of the stadiums approved for the Premier League competitions are ready to host evening matches during the return leg stage in the holy month of Ramadan.

The source explained that the lack of necessary lighting is causing the stadiums in Tobruk and Amsaad to be unable to host Premier League matches at night, as they do not meet the legal lighting requirements.

It was noted that the Football Federation had previously contacted the Premier League clubs regarding the necessity of providing lighting in the approved stadiums, in preparation for holding matches at night during Ramadan.

It was added that matches for teams whose home stadiums lack sufficient lighting will be moved to the nearest stadium that has the necessary lighting.

Libyan Football Federation

The Libyan Football Federation is the governing body for football in Libya, founded in 1962. It oversees national teams and domestic competitions, though its operations have been disrupted by political instability and conflict in the decades following Muammar Gaddafi’s rule.

Premier League

The Premier League is the top professional football division in England, founded in 1992 when clubs from the Football League First Division broke away to form a new commercially independent league. It has since grown into one of the world’s most popular and lucrative sports leagues, known for its global fanbase and competitive nature.

Tobruk

Tobruk is a port city in eastern Libya, historically significant for its natural harbor. It gained prominence during World War II when it was the site of a prolonged siege, with Allied forces holding out against Axis attacks for over 240 days in 1941.

Amsaad

Amsaad is a coastal town in northeastern Qatar, historically known as a small fishing and pearling village. Its development has been closely tied to Qatar’s maritime traditions and the natural resources of the Persian Gulf.
