Al-Ahli Tripoli claimed their 14th Libyan league crown with a convincing 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Al-Ahli Benghazi in the playoff final, sealing a season in which they dominated from start to finish.
The match, staged in Milan, Italy, unfolded in a charged and unusual atmosphere, but the Tripoli side showed no sign of nerves. From the outset, they applied relentless pressure, dictating the tempo and controlling possession.
Their disciplined defensive structure and incisive attacking play left little room for their opponents to find a foothold.
Both goals reflected the team’s collective strength, with every department contributing to a performance that underlined their superiority.
The result was never seriously in doubt, as the capital side maintained composure and efficiency throughout, rewarding their travelling supporters with a long-awaited title after several seasons without lifting the trophy.
This success reinforces Al-Ahli Tripoli’s standing as one of Libya’s most formidable football institutions. Their consistency during the campaign, coupled with their ability to deliver in decisive fixtures, demonstrated a balance between tactical organisation and creative flair.
Every player played their role in what has been described as one of the most cohesive and complete campaigns in recent league history.
While individual talent shone at times — with Algerian forward Ismaïl Belkacemi among those making significant contributions — it was the unity of purpose within the squad that proved decisive.
The side’s seamless blend of experienced figures and emerging talents provided the depth required to navigate a competitive season and prevail in the crucial moments.
Securing the championship also sets the stage for Al-Ahli Tripoli’s ambitions beyond domestic competition. With continental tournaments on the horizon, the team now looks to carry its winning mentality and disciplined approach into the African arena.
Club officials have expressed confidence that the current squad, bolstered by recent performances, can compete strongly against some of the continent’s most accomplished sides.
For the fans, this triumph is more than just another entry in the record books — it is a reaffirmation of the club’s identity and resilience. From the early fixtures to the high-pressure playoff stage, the Tripolitans showcased the same hunger and determination that has defined their history.
As celebrations continue in the Libyan capital, the focus will soon turn to preparing for new challenges. Yet for now, Al-Ahli Tripoli’s players, staff, and supporters can savour a title-winning campaign that reasserts their dominance and adds another proud chapter to the club’s rich legacy.
