Result of the 13 November 2026 match: Libya beat Tunisia 2–0 in Sfax, according to ESPN’s match record. This article was published as a pre-match preview; read the result report and its Group H context.

Tunisia host Libya at Stade Taieb Mhiri in Sfax on Friday, 13 November 2026, in the third round of 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Kick-off is 16:00 UTC: 17:00 in Tunisia and 18:00 in Libya and Jerusalem. ESPN’s match listing gives that time and venue, matching the Libyan News Agency’s report published on matchday.

Both teams are still seeking a first victory

Tunisia have two points from two draws, while Libya have one from a draw and a defeat. The qualifying standings put Uganda first with four points and Botswana second with two, ahead of Tunisia and Libya. Tunisia have scored and conceded three goals; Libya have scored twice and conceded three. Neither side has won in the opening two rounds.

A home victory would take Tunisia to five points, while an away success would move Libya to four. A draw adds one point to each total. Those calculations explain the immediate opportunity, although the group order after the round also depends on Uganda against Botswana and the criteria for separating teams level on points.

Group H has a special qualification rule

CAF’s draw and format announcement of 19 May confirms that Uganda qualify automatically as co-hosts. Only the highest-ranked side outside Uganda advances from Group H alongside the hosts. Tunisia, Libya and Botswana are therefore competing for one available place. Simply describing second position in the overall table would miss that important distinction.

Tunisia and Libya meet again on 17 November in round four, according to the Libyan agency’s report dated 12 November. Each game awards its own group points across a six-match campaign, with rounds five and six scheduled for the March 2027 international window. November offers both teams a chance to repair their start, while the remaining fixtures carry the campaign into next year.
