	'''Paintball Libya''' is a ~~commercial~~ paintball ~~centre~~ in Janzour, ~~in the Tripoli area of~~ Libya. Its ~~photographic record~~ documents ~~an inflatable-bunker playing field by March 2012~~ and ~~organised competition involving [[Speedball\|airball]]~~ in July 2013.[1][2][3]		'''Paintball Libya''' is a paintball venue in [[Janzour]], Libya, documented through contemporary photographs and reporting from 2012. Its Facebook page records recreational play and inflatable paintball fields. Photographic coverage published under the title ''Championship PAINT BALL LIBYA 2013'' documents competition in Tripoli and a separate tournament at Commando Paintball in Benghazi in July 2013.[1][2][3]

	== History ==		== History ==
			Photographs published by Paintball Libya on 14 March 2012 show a field with green and yellow inflatable bunkers. Another photograph, published on 10 May 2012, shows a red inflatable arch bearing Max's branding.[1][4]

	On ~~14 March~~ 2012, ~~Paintball~~ Libya ~~published~~ a ~~photograph of~~ a ~~netted playing field containing green and yellow inflatable bunkers~~. The ~~field had a green playing surface with white markings~~.[1]		On 6 December 2012, ''Libya Monitor'' reported the opening of a paintball centre in Janzour, describing a site covering approximately 10,000 square metres.[2] The earlier photographs establish that inflatable paintball equipment was being used before that report; they do not establish the venue's founding date.[1][4]

	~~A photograph~~ published on ~~10 May 2012 showed red inflatable bunkers, including~~ a ~~large central arch~~.[4] ~~A night photograph~~ published ~~on 30 November 2012 showed floodlighting illuminating the inflatable-bunker field and~~ an ~~adjacent area containing masonry walls~~ and ~~other obstacles~~.[5]		== July 2013 tournaments ==
			An advertisement published on 16 July 2013 announced a paintball tournament in Janzour for 24 July 2013.[5] WE Entertainment subsequently published photographs in an album titled ''Championship PAINT BALL LIBYA 2013''. The album contains separate groups of photographs captioned as Tripoli and Benghazi coverage.[3]

	~~On 6 December 2012~~, ~~''Libya Monitor'' reported that Paintball Libya had recently opened on~~ a ~~10,000-square-metre site in Janzour~~, on the ~~outskirts of Tripoli~~.[2]		=== Tripoli ===
			Photographs published on 26 July 2013 identify the location as Tripoli and show players using inflatable bunkers, including a red arch.[3][6] Together with the earlier advertisement, these provide evidence of an advertised tournament and subsequent competition photography. The upload date alone does not establish the date on which the photographed matches were played.[5][6]

	== ~~2013 tournament~~ ==		=== Benghazi ===
			A separate group of photographs published on 27 July 2013 explicitly identifies '''Commando Paintball Benghazi''' and gives the event date as '''26 July 2013''.[3]

	~~On 16 July 2013~~, ~~Paintball Libya~~ published ~~a poster advertising a tournament scheduled for 24~~ July 2013 ~~in Janzour~~. ~~The poster carried~~ Paintball ~~Libya~~ and ~~WE Entertainment branding~~.[6]		Further photographs, published on 30 July 2013 with the caption “Crowned champion”, show trophy presentations and groups posing with cups. Their captions again identify Commando Paintball Benghazi and the date 26 July 2013.[7][8] These photographs document a tournament and an awards presentation, but the cited captions do not identify a winning team or provide match scores or final standings.

	~~WE Entertainment subsequently published championship photographs on 26 July 2013, explicitly identifying Paintball Libya in Tripoli.~~ The ~~photographs document participants and play~~ on ~~an inflatable-bunker field, establishing that organised competition involving airball took place at the venue in~~ July ~~2013. The coverage also includes play among masonry obstacles~~.[3]		The Benghazi tournament was a separate event from the competition advertised for Janzour on 24 July.[3][5][7]

	~~The timing, venue and branding connect this coverage with the advertised tournament, although the inspected post-event captions do not explicitly confirm 24 July as the actual playing date.[3][6]~~		== Historical context ==
			The July 2013 events took place during Libya's unstable transition following the 2011 civil war and the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. They preceded the renewed conflict of 2014, which escalated following the launch of Operation Dignity in May that year.[9]
	=== ~~Documented team entries~~ ===

	~~A photographed team grid in the Tripoli championship coverage contains the following clearly readable names:[7]~~

	* Black Division Tripoli
	* Darkness
	* Chaos Legion
	* Iron Fist
	* Don't Care

	~~Another entry is partially cropped.~~ The ~~photograph documents names listed on the event grid; it does not establish a complete list of teams that played. The visible score cells are blank.[7]~~

	~~== Playing fields ==~~

	~~Paintball~~ Libya's ~~published photographs document both airball layouts using inflatable bunkers~~ and ~~a separate area containing masonry obstacles~~.~~[1][5]~~

	~~A photograph published on 15 February 2016 showed blue inflatable bunkers arranged on a green playing surface enclosed by netting. The foreground contained masonry structures~~, ~~vegetation and a vehicle.[8] The same view was published again as a cover photograph on 25 January 2023~~.[9]
