Libya Vs. Togo World Cup 2014 Qualifying Games Schedule Update: Preview And Online Live Streaming [WATCH & LISTEN]

Libya will face off against Togo in a World Cup 2014 qualifying game on Friday at 12:00 p.m. at the 11 June Stadium in Tripoli - the match was moved from its original location, Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi, because of rising security concerns, according to AfriqueJet.

The Libyan Football Federation decided to change the venue on Monday after consulting with FIFA because of the city's sprawl of crime.

Libya, who is currently in first place within Group I, is battling for an early berth at the African 10-legged playoffs where the best five teams of the continent will earn admission to the World Cup 2014 in Brazil.

Libya, who is next-and-neck with Cameroon within the group, currently has six points while Togo, who is in last place, only has four points.

But Libya and Togo's point difference doesn't mean they aren't too far apart from each other in terms of international ranking - Libya is ranked 69th in the world while Togo is ranked 73rd.

Libya, who hosted last week's draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo (0-0) in its first home match in three years (because of the Libyan Civil War), has three goals in their favor with only two goals working against them.

Togo, who earned a victory against African powerhouse Cameroon on Sunday, has four goals in their favor and five working against them.

Group I has been considered one of the most competitive groups within Africa's qualifying matches because of how closely ranked all of the teams are.

France-based Togo captain, Alaixys Romao, has protested against playing in the troubled North African country, writing on his Twitter page: '# Tripoli or Benghazi # , where is the difference, according to AfriqueJet.

Togo hopes to move up within its group's ranking while Libya will seek to maintain its position as the leading team within the group.
