Al Ahli Tripoli crowned 2024-2025 Libyan Premier League champions after beating Al Hilal

Al Ahli Tripoli clinched the 2024-2025 Libyan Premier League title with a decisive 2-0 victory over Al Hilal in the championship-deciding match at the Città di Meda Stadium in Italy.

The breakthrough came early, with Rwandan defender Thierry Manzi heading home in the 5th minute from a pinpoint free-kick delivery by captain Hamdou Elhouni.

Elhouni then sealed the win in the 83rd minute, breaking through the defense with a solo run before firing and scoring the second goal.

The result saw Al Ahli finish top of the Championship Group with 13 points, five clear of runners-up Al Hilal. This marks the club’s 14th league title in its history.

Both Al Ahli Tripoli and Al Hilal have secured qualification for the 2025-2026 CAF Champions League, while Al Akhdar and Al Ittihad will represent Libya in the CAF Confederation Cup.
