Teams Due to the continued security situation in Libya in 2017 and the difficulty in air-travel for most teams, the participating teams were grouped by their geographical location into four groups of seven teams. Teams from each group were scheduled to play every team from their group in a home-and-away round robin format with 3 points given for a win and 1 point for a draw.
