    "parsed_content": "On a quiet Sunday afternoon in Sesto San Giovanni, a commune on the northern outskirts of Milan, nearly a dozen police vans arrived to provide security at an aging stadium, which like the town itself had seen better days.Milan is home to one of soccer\u2019s fiercest global rivalries, between AC Milan and Internazionale. But the police were not there for that. Instead, they had turned out in force in case of trouble between fans of two teams whose home base was more than 1,000 miles away, in Libya.The game was part of a curious collaboration between Italian and Libyan authorities that for a second year running will see Libya\u2019s soccer champion crowned on Sunday in Italy, at the completion of a six-team mini-championship.The transplanted tournament is a striking example of the security and political crisis that continues to plague Libya more than a decade after the bloody overthrow of its longtime dictator, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.It is also a measure of Libyans\u2019 passion for the sport and of the explosive enmity between Tripoli\u2019s two most successful teams, a rivalry that played out last Sunday at the Ernesto Breda Stadium outside Milan.The last time the two teams \u2014 Al Ittihad and Al Ahli Tripoli \u2014 had met was in June in Libya. Even though that game was played without fans, it ended up making global headlines about an abandoned match, an injured referee, unruly supporters storming the stadium and a team bus reduced to charred ruins.So Italian authorities were taking no chances, even though for this match, too, no supporters were allowed inside the stadium.ImageSupporters of Al Ittihad and Al Ahli Tripoli outside the Ernesto Breda Stadium in Milan. Not all the rival fans were unfriendly to each other.ImageHeavy security outside the stadium.Libya\u2019s soccer league mirrors its politics. One competition is played in the east, a region overseen by a military strongman, and another is played in the west, where a transitional government struggles for legitimacy. The top three teams from each side have traveled to Italy with the hope of returning home to a heroes\u2019 reception.\u201cPrimarily, they would be worried about the security of it, and it\u2019s not like they would accept to play it on one side or the other,\u201d Tim Eaton, a researcher at Chatham House, a research group, said as to why the tournament was moved so far from the competitors\u2019 home turf. \u201cWho is the neutral arbiter in the Libyan context?\u201dWant to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in Italy and Libya? Sign up for Your Places: Global Update, and we\u2019ll send our latest coverage to your inbox.Holding the tournament in Libya would not be safe for teams or fans.In May, the western half of the Libyan championship was paused as fierce fighting broke out in Tripoli, the capital, after forces loyal to the transitional government killed one of the city\u2019s top militia leaders, Abdul Ghani Al-Kikli. The militiaman, known as Ghaniwa, was also the honorary president of the Al Ahli team. Libya\u2019s current prime minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, is a former president of the Al Ittihad team.\u201cWe\u2019ve seen quite a lot of key elites and security figures having a close connection to football clubs,\u201d Mr. Eaton said. While Italy has taken up the role of neutral arbiter, even it cannot escape the political divides that roil Libya\u2019s league.At last season\u2019s Libyan competition in Italy, the winning team\u2019s president, a son of Khalifa Hifter, the dictator who rules eastern Libya, was prevented from entering a field in Rome for the awards ceremony because Italy \u2014 like the rest of the European Union \u2014 recognizes only Libya\u2019s transitional government.The younger Mr. Hifter told his team to leave the arena, and an impromptu celebration was held instead in a parking lot outside.This year, passions are running as high as ever, even though games have been played so far from home and each team is allowed to bring only 20 invited guests to its games.A first-round match between two teams that share a common name, Al Ahli, but are from opposite sides of Libya ended abruptly with one team walking off the field and refusing to return after complaining about a referee call. But that was nothing compared with what took place a week later in Sesto, where the need for a sizable police operation, which included units of armed military police, quickly became apparent.Even though they were not permitted inside the stadium to watch the game, fans of both teams traveled from other parts of Italy, Germany, Belgium and as far as Libya itself to Milan for the occasion, which was deemed so high risk that not even invited guests were permitted to attend.Dressed in Al Ahli\u2019s green and white jersey, Mohammed al Hamdi, 41, arrived on the morning of the game after taking two flights. Though he had little hope of getting inside the stadium, he said he just wanted to be close to the occasion.\u201cI\u2019m here to support my team,\u201d said the father of four.ImageThe transplanted tournament is a striking example of the security and political crisis that continues to plague Libya.ImageMohammed al Hamdi, a supporter of Al Ahli, flew from Libya to attend the tournament.As the number of police officers outside the stadium swelled, so did the crowd of ticketless fans. At first, supporters of both teams mingled, sharing their frustrations about not being allowed inside. Then, as the 6:30 p.m. kickoff time neared, the tensions rose and clashes started, with some fans beating rivals with sticks and belts. The security forces leaped into action, at one point donning helmets and shields to chase after a pocket of Ittihad fans.Inside the stadium, the police were also required, though not for misbehaving supporters.At halftime, Ibrahim Dbeibeh, a 20-something son of the prime minister, swept into the grounds to offer support to his team, which seemed to have the opposite effect as it went down 4-1 after an embarrassing own goal from the midfielder Mohamed Zrida that sailed over the goalkeeper from about 40 yards out. The midfielder slumped to the ground in disbelief.Moments later, the game descended into a melee that took almost 30 minutes to bring under control, with rival players and staff members kicking and punching one another, forcing the police to move in.Ahmed Sawan, an Arabic-speaking security guard, warned a goalkeeper who had been at the center of the violence that he risked arrest if he did not leave the field, and officers took out a pair of handcuffs. Two 10-year-old ball boys from the local club Pro Sesto ran to seek sanctuary in the stadium\u2019s cafe.The match eventually restarted after a warning from Valentina Battistini, the Lombardy region\u2019s top soccer official. One more outburst and it would all be over, she warned, as the prime minister\u2019s son and the Libyan counsel general looked on, grim-faced. The game ended with the police in riot gear standing guard in front of the winning team\u2019s bench until its opponents had cleared the field.As the victors celebrated raucously in front of the empty stands, Sandro Stagni, 67, who had worked at the stadium for four decades, struggled to comprehend what he had just witnessed.\u201cI have never seen anything like this before,\u201d Mr. Stagni said with a shake of his head. \u201cI know it\u2019s a derby, but that was over the top.\u201dAt the gates, about 100 fans, held back by police officers in riot gear, cheered their team onto the bus. At the front of the group was Mr. al Hamdi, wearing a huge grin and showing no signs of fatigue from his two-flight journey. He had watched the game on his cellphone outside the stadium.\u201cI\u2019m very happy,\u201d he said, raising four fingers of his left hand and one on his right to revel in the score.ImageMr. al Hamdi, far right, and other Al Ahli Tripoli supporters cheering outside the stadium at the end of the match.Tariq Panja is a global sports correspondent, focusing on stories where money, geopolitics and crime intersect with the sports world.A version of this article appears in print on Aug. 10, 2025, Section A, Page 4 of the New York edition with the headline: An Unusual Soccer Finale in Italy Reveals the Frailties of Libya.
