The Libyan Swimming Federation has announced the 15th of this month as the new date for holding the Libya Winter Championship, which is scheduled to take place in the city of Benghazi.
The new date comes after the announcement of the championship’s postponement at the beginning of this January, as the previous date coincided with the student exam period. The championship will be held on its new date on the 15th and 16th of this month, at the Sultan Sports Club pool in the city of Benghazi.

It was established to develop these sports nationally and to select athletes to represent Libya in international competitions, such as the Olympics and African championships, though its operations have historically been impacted by the country’s political instability.
