Tripoli, 30 July:
Plans to set up sports centres and entertainment facilities around the country were discussed this morning in Tripoli by Juma Shushan, the Undersecretary at the Ministry for Youth and Sport, and a visiting delegation from UNICEF. The plans come within UNICEF’s sports’ development programme.
Meanwhile, the Ministry announced half a million dinars in funding for the Libyan Football Federation. This will come as a welcome boost for the organisation, which had to cancel the first tournament of the season due to lack of funding.
