Tunisia host Libya in Sfax on Friday, 13 November, with both sides aiming to revive their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying campaigns in Group H.
The match is the first of two meetings between the North African neighbours in four days. The return fixture will be played in Tripoli on Tuesday, 17 November.
Kick-off at Stade Taieb-Mhiri will be at 17:00 local time in Tunisia and France, which is 16:00 GMT.
In France, the derby will be shown live on beIN SPORTS 1, with subscribers also able to watch via streaming service beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
The game will be broadcast in Tunisia by Watania 1 on its terrestrial network and by beIN Sports Arabia 1. Supporters across the MENA region will also be able to follow the match through beIN Sports Arabia 1.
Tunisia are still without a victory after the opening two rounds of qualifying. Mouine Chaabani’s side drew 1-1 with Uganda before being held to a 2-2 draw by Botswana.
Libya have also made an uneven start. The Mediterranean Knights drew 2-2 with Botswana in their opening match, then lost 1-0 to Uganda.
Uganda top Group H with four points, while Botswana and Tunisia have two points each. Libya are bottom on one point.
The standings carry added significance because Uganda, one of the co-hosts of the Africa Cup of Nations 2027, have already secured their place at the finals. That means only one other team from Group H will qualify for the tournament.
Both Tunisia and Libya therefore have a chance to strengthen their position in the group before meeting again four days later in Tripoli. For the Eagles of Carthage, the home fixture is an opportunity to record their first win of the campaign; Libya will be seeking the same boost after their defeat by Uganda.
The two matches could have a significant bearing on the group’s fight for the remaining qualification place, with neither side able to afford another setback as the campaign progresses.
