The Libya national football team, known as the Mediterranean Knights, represents the nation in international football under the Libyan Football Federation. Based in Tripoli, the team plays its home matches at various stadiums, including the Tripoli Stadium and Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi. The team's colors are green, black, and red. Libyan football has faced significant challenges due to political instability, but the national team has shown resilience. Their most significant achievement was winning the African Cup of Nations in 1982 as hosts. In recent years, they have been inconsistent qualifiers for major tournaments but remain a competitive side in African football, often performing strongly in the Arab Cup and CHAN (African Nations Championship). The team is a source of national pride, uniting Libyans across divides during international fixtures. Managed by a succession of coaches aiming to build a competitive squad, the Knights continue to strive for a return to the continental stage.
