FOOTBALL IN TRIPOLI

Visit (245 times)

Aschat S.C.
Aschat is a Libyan football club based in Tripoli, Libya. The club was founded in 1982. The club is based in the Zaweyat Addahmani region in Tripoli, near the coast. The club did enjoy success in the 1990s, winning a league title in the 1995-96 season, and winning the domestic cup two seasons later, in 1997-98.
By winning the Libyan Cup, they qualified for the CAF Cup Winners' Cup for the 1999 edition. They went out in the second round, losing 6-0 on aggregate to ASC Mineurs of Guinea. They produced a heroic performance in the first round, defeating WA Tlemcen 2-1 in both legs.

Alahly Tripoli S.C.
Al-Ahly Tripoli (Arabic: ?????? ???????) (English: National Tripoli) is a Libyan football club based in Tripoli, Libya. The club is the second most successful Libyan club in history, having won 10 Libyan Premier League titles, 5 Libyan Cups and 1 Libyan SuperCup. Al-Ahly is known as the leader of the Libyan Football clubs and has the largest number of fans in Libya, The club has endured a poor period in the last 10 years, having been overshadowed by their arch rivals Alittihad's superior dominance. They have not won the title since the 1999-2000 season.
The club's crest consists of a green and white background, with a torch placed on an outline of Libya. The torch is meant to signify independence for the nation, as it was achieved just months after the club was founded. The club's crest changed after it won its 10th Libyan Premier League title in 2000, with a star being placed on top.
Al-Ahly's main rivalry is with Alittihad. The two clubs are the biggest in the country, and together, have won 28 of the 41 national championships that have been contested, as well as 10 of the 18 domestic cups. The rivalry's name is the Clasico, as it guarantees a brilliant atmosphere, and more often than not, a great football match and a red card. In the last 5 meetings, there have been 4 sendings off.
The club won the first national championship in the 1963-64 season, but then suffered a period of 7 years until its next win in 1970-71. The club won two of the next three titles, and picked up the last before the cancellation of the league in 1977-78. The 1980s was a very dire period for the club, as their own failure, coupled with Al Ittihad's success, meant that their rivals went into the 1990s with 6 titles to their own 5. However, they did reach the final of the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1984, where they withdrew from facing Al-Ahly Cairo, as Colonel Gaddafi's bad relationship with Egypt at that time meant that Libyan clubs were banned from facing Egyptian clubs.
