Al-Ahly Benghazi have officially announced the signings of Osama Boujlida and Ahmed Saad as the club intensifies preparations for the new season.
The Libyan side, led by club president Ahmed Bushnaf, confirmed the arrival of the two international players as part of a broader effort to strengthen the squad after another season without a league title.
Boujlida, an attacking winger, joins the club on a free transfer after the expiration of his contract with Al-Taawon Ajdabiya.
Meanwhile, midfielder Ahmed Saad arrives from Al-Hilal SC Benghazi in another high-profile domestic transfer within the Libyan Premier League.
The two signings are viewed as significant additions for Al-Ahly Benghazi as the club attempts to build a more competitive team capable of challenging both domestically and continentally next season.
Boujlida, 23, emerged during the current campaign as one of the standout attacking players in Libyan football.
During his time with Al-Taawon Ajdabiya, the winger made 15 appearances in the Libyan league and scored four goals.
His performances attracted attention from several clubs before Al-Ahly Benghazi secured his signature.
Ahmed Saad, who is 29 years old, also enjoyed a strong season with Al-Hilal.
The midfielder played 12 league matches, scoring once and contributing three assists, performances that reportedly drew interest from a number of major clubs within Libya.
The signings form part of a much larger recruitment campaign being carried out by Al-Ahly Benghazi ahead of the 2026 season.
Speaking in televised comments, club vice-president Moataz Ben Amer revealed that the board has already completed agreements with five additional local players.
According to Ben Amer, those deals will be officially announced in the coming days.
The latest recruitment activity reflects the club’s determination to establish what officials describe as a long-term sporting project centred around the first football team.
Al-Ahly Benghazi is seeking to rebuild after another disappointing league campaign in which the club again failed to win the Libyan Premier League title.
The club, founded in 1947, remains one of Libya’s most historic football institutions but has continued to struggle in its attempts to reclaim domestic dominance.
The rebuilding process is currently being overseen by Moroccan coach Reda Hakam, who has been tasked with creating a squad capable of competing for trophies both in Libya and in continental competitions.
Despite league disappointment, Al-Ahly Benghazi still has an opportunity to avoid finishing the season without silverware.
The club has reached the semi-finals of the 2026 Libyan Football Cup and is scheduled to face Al-Akhdar SC next Sunday at Tripoli International Stadium.
Victory in that match would send Al-Ahly Benghazi into the domestic cup final for the second consecutive season.
The club’s activity in the transfer market suggests officials are already looking beyond the current campaign and focusing heavily on building a squad capable of ending future title droughts.
By targeting established local performers as well as younger emerging talents, Al-Ahly Benghazi appears determined to create greater balance and depth throughout the team.
Supporters are now expected to await the official announcement of the additional five signings as anticipation grows around the club’s plans for next season.
With a cup semi-final still to play and major transfer activity already underway, Al-Ahly Benghazi enters a crucial period that could shape the future direction of the club both on and off the pitch.
