The 2010 Libyan Cup Final was the 20th final of the premier cup competition in the

Nasr
.

Both sides entered the final looking to end respective droughts without major silverware; Madina had not won a major title since their 2001 League-Supercup double, and Nasr had not won a major trophy since winning this competition in 2002–03.

After a fairly poor first half, the game sprung into life just past the hour when defender

Ihaab Bouseffi did a one-two with Ndubuisi Eze
and the 24-year-old cracked a low drive into the bottom corner in the 89th minute.

The title was Nasr manager

Hilal. The win also means Nasr won qualification for the 2011 CAF Confederation Cup
.

Background

Up until the 2010 final, Madina had appeared in three previous finals (1977, 2001 & 2008), winning one of them. They also had two unofficial titles to their name, by virtue of finishing second in the domestic league, (as there was no domestic cup competition organised at this time, the runner-up in the league was unofficially proclaimed Libyan Cup champion and earned a place in the

African Cup Winners Cup
) in 1987 and 1990. Nasr had appeared in two finals (1997 & 2003), winning both. They also had two unofficial titles (1978, 1984) by virtue of finishing runners-up.

In the two meetings between the sides in the

Martyrs of February Stadium.[1] The sides had also met in a two-legged League Cup semi-final; Nasr lost the first leg 1–3 at home, before a 1–1 stalemate in Tripoli
saw Madina through to the final.

The previous and only encounter between these sides in the cup was in the 2007–08 season, where Madina defeated Nasr 2–0 in the semi-finals,
