Al-Ittihad Tripoli Face Alithad Almisrati in Crucial Libyan Premier League Clash
Al-Ittihad Tripoli meet Alithad Almisrati on Monday, May 18, 2026, in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the Libyan Premier League's final-six stage — a match that could reshape the Group 1 standings with just three rounds remaining.
Match Context and League Standings
The Libyan Premier League's final stage has reached a critical juncture after dramatic second-round results. Al-Sweihli lead Group 1 with six points after a 3-1 victory over Al-Olymbi at Al-Jamil Stadium, while Al-Ittihad Tripoli sit just two points behind on four points following their hard-fought 2-1 win over Al-Madina in Misrata. Al-Ahly Tripoli are also on four points after captain Hamdou Elhouni secured a 1-0 victory over Al-Ittihad Al-Misrati, setting up a three-way battle for qualification.
Al-Ittihad's Turbulent Season
Al-Ittihad Tripoli's football campaign has been marked by controversy and resilience in equal measure. The club recently appointed South African coach Rulani Mokwena on a two-and-a-half-year deal, bringing fresh tactical direction to the Tripoli giants. However, the team was at the center of a major incident when their third-round match against Al-Suwaihli was halted in the 87th minute after Al-Ittihad protested controversial refereeing decisions — an event that triggered fan violence spilling into the streets of Tripoli and led the Libyan Football Federation to postpone the entire fourth round of first-region matches.
Alithad Almisrati: The Misrata Challenge
Alithad Almisrati represent one of Misrata's proudest sporting institutions and have historically been among the toughest opponents for any Tripoli-based club. The Misrata side has built a reputation for disciplined defensive organization and swift counterattacks, making them particularly dangerous in away fixtures. Monday's clash at Tripoli Stadium is expected to draw a large crowd, with both sets of fans well aware that defeat could prove fatal to their respective qualification hopes.
Broader Libyan Sports Scene
The football match comes amid a remarkable period of success for Libyan sports across multiple disciplines. Al-Ittihad's volleyball team clinched the Libyan Premier Volleyball League title for the third time in club history, winning all ten matches in both legs of the competition — a perfect record. The club also won the Libyan Basketball Championship for the 18th time and the Libyan Handball Cup, cementing their status as Libya's most decorated multi-sport club. Meanwhile, Al Ahli Benghazi's basketball team are preparing for the BAL6 finals in Kigali with an intensive training camp in Athens under Greek coach Fotis Katsikaris.
What to Expect on Monday
With Al-Sweihli holding a two-point cushion at the top of Group 1, Al-Ittihad Tripoli cannot afford anything less than victory against Alithad Almisrati. The Tunisian midfielder Saed Bakir, who scored a dramatic stoppage-time penalty for Al-Nasr in the second round, has shown that late drama is a hallmark of this season's final stage. Fans can follow live updates and streaming information through various sports platforms as Libya's football season reaches its thrilling conclusion.
The Libyan Football Federation has confirmed that the third-round fixtures will proceed as scheduled, with Group 1 matches including Al-Sweihli versus Al-Ittihad in Tarhouna and Al-Ahly Tripoli against Al-Madina in Al-Khoms, making every point crucial in this tightly contested group.
