The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has officially awarded international accreditation to the pitch at Derna Sports City Stadium. This recognition follows confirmation that the playing surface meets the highest internationally approved standards of quality and safety.
This certification serves as formal acknowledgement from FIFA of the pitch’s readiness, thereby authorising the sports facility to host official international matches recognised by the global governing body, for both national teams and clubs.
The accreditation forms part of broader efforts to develop Libya’s sports infrastructure and marks a significant stride towards the resumption of official football competitions on Libyan soil, after years of absence from the international scene due to security and technical challenges.
