Al Ittihad and Nadi Basket Staouéli meet on Wednesday 21 October at the Grande Salle in Tripoli for their opening game in the Road to BAL 2027 qualifiers. The Libyan and Algerian clubs each have three games on three consecutive days to finish in the top two of Group A.
After facing Staouéli on Wednesday, Al Ittihad will take on Cape Verde's Kriol Star on Thursday 22 October, then Stade Malien on Friday 23 October. The Libyan side will therefore play all three games without a rest day between fixtures.
Staouéli will meet Stade Malien on Thursday, followed by Kriol Star on Friday. In the four-team group, each side plays its three rivals once, meaning the Libya-Algeria clash opens the campaign for both clubs.
The top two in the group advance to the West division's Elite 16 in Abidjan, scheduled for 9 to 15 November. Reaching that stage keeps their BAL campaign alive, but does not yet secure a place in the continent's club competition.
