Since I was young and playing for the Tripoli Barbarians rugby team, when rugby was still weak and just starting in Tripoli, Libya, in 2000, I always had thoughts in my mind: would this sport disappear one day, or would it spread all around my country, especially since it didn’t have any government support or attention?
But now, on behalf of the Tripoli rugby community, I am proud to announce that our beloved sport is developing and becoming known to most Libyans. It is now being played in many clubs, and rugby activities and events are taking place continuously.
Finally, my dream has come true.
