Bulgarian team CSKA Sofia will face Libyan clubs Al Nasr Benghazi and Al Ahli Tripoli in matches set to mark the first anniversary of the revolution in the North African country.
Thus, CSKA is to become the first foreign team to play in Libya since the uprising against dictator Muammar Gaddafi erupted on February 17 last year.
The games are to take place on Monday and Wednesday at the "The Heroes of February 17th" stadium in Benghazi that used to be named after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez before the revolution.
Libya's football league has been suspended since last February and the Libyan clubs that participate in continental competitions stopped playing at home in knockout ties, which were reduced to a single match at their opponent's ground.
The country's national team qualified to this year's African Cup of Nations using Mali and Egypt as home grounds.
