The Libya national beach soccer team () represents Libya in men's international beach soccer competitions and is controlled by the Libyan Football Federation (LFF). History Following the success of the futsal team in 2008, Libya formed a beach soccer team to compete in the inaugural Arab Beach Soccer Championship in July 2008. Despite being assembled only shortly before the tournament, Libya recovered from a 6–4 defeat to the United Arab Emirates in the group stage to reach the final, where it defeated the same opponents 5–3 to become the inaugural champions.
In July 2009, the team made its debut in the African qualifiers for the 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Despite remaining unbeaten in regulation and extra time, Libya were eliminated after losing two matches on penalties, against Senegal and Mozambique.
In September 2015, during the inaugural Mediterranean Beach Games libya clinched the bronze medal after defeating Morocco 4–3 on the bronze medal match.
In their fifth appearance at the continental tournament, Libya secured their first win at the 2018 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations with a 5–2 victory over Tanzania, but lost their remaining matches.
