List of Lebanon international footballers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lebanon national football team has represented Lebanon in international association football since 1940. The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) was founded in 1933 and became a member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) three years later.[1] However, the team did not play its first official international match until 27 April 1940,[2] suffering a 5–1 defeat to Mandatory Palestine in a friendly game.[3] In 1964, Lebanon joined the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and continues to compete as a member of the organisation.[1]
