At last season's Libyan competition in Italy the winning team's president a son of Khalifa Hifter was prevented from entering a field in Rome for the awards ceremony because Italy recognizes only Libya's transitional government.

The militiaman known as Ghaniwa was also the honorary president of the Al Ahli team.

Libya's current prime minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh is a former president of the Al Ittihad team.

The younger Mr Hifter told his team to leave the arena and an impromptu celebration was held instead in a parking lot outside.

The game was part of a collaboration between Italian and Libyan authorities that will see Libya's soccer champion crowned on Sunday in Italy.

One competition is played in the east overseen by a military strongman and another is played in the west where a transitional government struggles for legitimacy.

The transplanted tournament is a striking example of the security and political crisis that continues to plague Libya more than a decade after the overthrow of its longtime dictator.
