The International Mini-Football Federation has officially announced its recognition of Al-Jawhara Stadium in the city of Derna as one of its internationally accredited venues. This development reflects the significant progress observed in Libya’s sports infrastructure.

This certification coincides with Derna’s hosting of the Africa Mini-Football Championship, featuring 16 national teams from across the continent. This event stands as one of the city’s most prominent sporting milestones this year.

Al-Jawhara Stadium is no longer merely a sports facility; it has transformed into a landmark embodying Libya’s aspiration to reclaim its standing on the regional and international sports stages. The stadium marked its official inauguration last October, when it hosted the Arab Clubs Championship, an event that constituted a pivotal moment in its trajectory.

The international accreditation of Al-Jawhara Stadium signifies a new step towards bolstering Libya’s position on the global sports map, affirming the capability of Libyan cities to competently and distinctively host major football events.
