Pondering the situation, Al Tabal commented: “It’s had an impact on the national team in general. It’s not easy to go about our preparations in another country and spend three fifa coins cheap months away from our families. It’s all had a negative effect in terms of results.
“If things were as they should be, we’d be number one in Africa. The national league came to a halt a couple of years ago, which has undermined the ability of the players to compete. Whatever the case may be, I’m convinced there are better days ahead for us, and I’m sure the Libya team will be a force to be reckoned with again.”
Looking ahead to the Rwanda tie, in which Al Tabal and his colleagues can expect the support of the entire nation, he said: “We’ve been preparing for this match for months. We’ve played quite a few friendlies and competitive matches to give ourselves every chance against the Rwandans.
“The difference between us is that uniting our people means more to us than actually qualifying. We want to win so that the people of Libya can celebrate in the streets rather than kill each other. More than anything we want to make them smile again and that makes us even more determined to go and get a good result."
With Libya yet to grace the world finals, the current crop of players are hoping to kill two birds with one stone: book a place at Russia 2018 and help bring peace to the country, a double objective that prompted Al Tabal to say: “Football is the most popular sport in Libya and everyone plays it, whether it’s in the desert, on the beaches or in the streets.
