Libyan Football Federation Stops Sudanese Giants From League

The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) has turned down a proposal from two top Sudanese clubs, El Merrikh and Al Hilal, to compete in the Libyan Premier League next season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Following the ongoing political crisis and instability in Sudan, both clubs had approached the Libyan League board seeking permission to join the league for the 2025/2026 campaign as a temporary measure to maintain their players’ competitive edge.

It was gathered that the request was thoroughly reviewed, but the LFF ultimately decided against granting approval, citing regulatory and logistical challenges associated with admitting foreign clubs into the domestic competition.

El Merrikh and Al Hilal, two of Sudan’s most successful teams, previously participated in the Mauritanian League during the last campaign under special arrangements due to the suspension of football activities in their home country.

With this latest rejection, both clubs are now expected to explore alternative options as uncertainty continues to surround the resumption of organized football in Sudan.
