Rarely seen at Nations Cup level
Clubs: unsuccessful in Africa
Squad: With a few exceptions homebased.
Coach:.
Libya are a dangerous outsider. Not that they can be expected to advance but they will probably steal some points from somebody. During the World Cup qualifiers neither Egypt, nor Cameroon, nor Côte d’Ivoire were able to win 6 points against them.
From a crowded defence the Libyans usually run fast counter attacks with precise combinations.
Stars: Tarek El Taib, the central midfielder. Famous also Saadi Gaddafi, the son of the president, for his ambitions rather than successes. A technically skilful player, but with deficits in other departments. Tried a career at Italy but did not make first team football neither at Perugia, nor Udine.
But will very unlikely be at Egypt.
