Libya National Football Team Home Stadium
The Tripoli Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Tripoli, Libya. It has a capacity for 80,000 spectators.
It was the main venue used by the Libyan national football team in their qualifying matches for the FIFA World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations, as well as in friendlies and other international matches.
The stadium hosted many games of the 1982 Africa Cup of Nations held in Libya along with the March 28 Stadium in Benghazi.
The March 28 Stadium in Benghazi was also used on occasion by the national team.
Libya National Football Team Kit
In the Gaddafi era, the national team used to play its home games in the green-colored kit representing the flag of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. However, after the Libyan Civil War in 2011, Libya changed its flag to the new one that was used from 1951 to 1969 when Libya was a Kingdom.
This change resulted in changing the national team kit to represent the new flag. The team played its home games with the colors: Red, Black, and Green (as in the flag). Red dominates the strip and is the only color on the jersey. The away colors were white in both seasons. Since 2011, the LFF emblem and the national team crest have been changed to the current design. The previous insignia were two balls in front of the Libyan map in green, which is also in front of a sun.
Kit sponsorship
Adidas is the supplier of the official team strip.
