Libya host Cameroon at the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benina on Tuesday in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, as both sides look to build on their last win.

Hosts Libya began their qualifying campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat of Eswatini on Friday.

Ahmed Krawa'a scored the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute as the Mediterranean Knights began their quest for qualification on a winning note.

Ranked 126th in the world, Libya are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, having begun the year with five consecutive defeats.

Also starting their journey towards the World Cup with a win in Group D was Cameroon, who overcame Mauritius 3-0 at home. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring in the added minutes of the opening stanza, before Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Frank Magri added two late goals to consolidate the victory.

As a result, Cameroon took top spot in the group with Libya right behind them.

Following an incredible-yet-short journey at the Qatar showpiece last year, which saw them draw 3-3 against Serbia and beat Brazil 1-0 in a historic result, the Indomitable Lions are looking to secure consecutive appearances in the mundial.
