  • Football is the most popular sport in Lebanon. It was introduced to Lebanon in the late-19th century, becoming particularly popular among teachers and students Christian schools. The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) was formed in 1933 as one of the earliest administrative bodies for association football in the Middle East. The Lebanon national team made its unofficial debut in 1935 against Romanian club CA Timișoara (T.A.C.), while their first official FIFA game was in 1940 against Mandatory Palestine. Armenian clubs, namely Homenetmen and Homenmen, led the early football scene between the 1940s and the 1960s; the civil war between 1975 and 1990 made it impossible to practice football in Lebanon. Ansar became the dominating force in the country between the 1990s and the early-2000s, winning 11 consecutive league titles. In the 21st century, Ansar, Nejmeh, and Ahed (the latter in particular starting from the 2010s) formed a Lebanese "Big Three", winning the majority of the titles. Indeed, historically, the country's most-supported clubs are Ansar and Nejmeh, with Ahed gaining popularity in recent years. While the Lebanon national team haven't won a major title internationally, Ahed became the first Lebanese club to win the AFC Cup in 2019. The national under-18 team were the first Lebanon men's national team to play in a final, finishing as runners-up in the 2021 WAFF U-18 Championship. (en)

  • Il calcio è lo sport più popolare in Libano, dove è governato dalla locale federazione calcistica. Introdotto nel paese alla fine del XIX secolo, divenne particolarmente diffuso tra insegnanti e studenti delle scuole cristiane. La Federazione calcistica del Libano, costituita nel 1933, fu uno dei primi enti calcistici amministrativi del Medio Oriente, mentre la nazionale libanese di calcio debuttò ufficiosamente nel 1935 e ufficialmente, in modo riconosciuto dalla FIFA, nel 1940. I club più sostenuti del paese sono l'Ansar e il Nejmeh, con l'Ahed che ha raccolto sempre maggiore popolarità e successi dal 2008. (it)
