Tunisia will play its first post-World Cup 2022 international match against Libya this Friday, March 24, with the aim of qualifying for the next CAN scheduled for January 2024.
A border separates Tunisia and Libya, which are two neighboring countries. The two nations will face each other this Friday, March 24 in the qualifications for the CAN 2023 which will take place in Côte d’Ivoire in January 2024. The Tunisians, first, will leave with the status of favorites. The “Eagles of Carthage” emerge from a rather satisfactory 2022 World Cup by beating France, vice-champion of Europe (1-0) during the group stage.
There is a real difference in level between the two neighbors who will face each other tonight. Although the Libyans have already been to the CAN final in 1982, Hamdi Bataw’s men have only managed to participate three times in 1982, 2006 and 2012. Tunisia is a great nation of African football with numerous titles on the continent including the CAN in 2004.
The match will start on Friday March 24 at 9:30 p.m. in Tunisia and more precisely Rades Olympic Stadium. The match will be refereed by Algerian Mustapha Ghorbal.
The opposition on the sidelines of qualifying for CAN 2023 between these two geographical neighbors will be broadcast on the pay channel beIN Sport 2 owned by the Qataris.
Those who wish to follow the meeting between Tunisia and Libya will not be able to watch the match in full without having a subscription to beIN Sports. On the other hand, people who have an account will find an accessible link on the streaming platforms to take advantage of the North African shock.
We should find in the Tunisia team faces that we saw at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar such as Meriah or Dhamen in the cages. Hamdi Bataw will line up his first eleven since his appointment a few days ago at the head of the Libyan team.
