European giants meet in Libya for a rare friendly clash

Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan will face each other in a high-profile friendly on Friday, October 10, 2025. The renovated Benghazi International Stadium in Libya will host the match. Reports say the fixture marks an important moment for Libyan football.

Libya hosts two major European clubs for the first time in over a decade. Both teams treat the match as more than just a warm-up. Diego Simeone’s side will tighten their defence and improve transitions. Simone Inzaghi will test his attacking setup. The game reaches a crucial stage of their preparation before the UEFA Champions League group phase match in late November.
