Sudanese football giants Al Hilal and El Merrikh are set to feature in the Libyan Premier League next season due to the continued political instability in Sudan, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The two powerhouse clubs, unable to host or participate in domestic competitions at home, have officially submitted requests to the Libyan Football Federation seeking approval to join the North African nation’s top-flight league for the upcoming campaign.

Both clubs had previously participated in the Mauritanian League last season as a temporary measure to maintain their players’ fitness and club activities amid the crisis in Sudan.

If approved, Al Hilal and El Merrikh’s participation in the Libyan Premier League would mark another historic move in African football, showcasing the resilience of Sudanese clubs in the face of national challenges.
