Friday, June 10, 2026 - Tensions boiled over in the streets of Ajdabiya, Libya this week as local police apprehended a group of Argentina supporters following a volatile celebration that turned into a public disturbance.
According to The Libya Observer, the group had taken to the
streets to celebrate Argentina’s qualification in the ongoing World Cup and the
concurrent elimination of Egypt from the tournament.
According to law enforcement, the jubilation quickly
spiraled into a confrontational situation as the Argentina supporters clashed
with a group of Egyptian fans who were also present in the area.
Authorities intervened to disperse the crowds, citing
significant disruption to local traffic flow and a breach of public
order.
In a controversial move following their arrest, police
forcibly shaved the heads of the detained individuals.
Officials stated that the punitive measure was taken in
response to the group’s disruptive behavior and what they described as
inflammatory displays of support for Argentina directed against Egypt.
