Football is making a comeback in Lebanon after a prolonged hiatus due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) has confirmed that U15, U17, and U20 football competitions will resume this weekend, marking a significant return for the sport in the country.

The suspension of matches, which began last September amidst regional tensions, had left the football community in Lebanon in limbo. However, with the situation now stabilizing, the younger age-group tournaments will serve as a precursor to the eagerly awaited return of the Lebanese Premier League, expected in the near future.
Fans and players alike have expressed their excitement at the resumption of the sport, which has long been a source of national pride. The upcoming matches will not only be crucial for the development of Lebanon’s young talent but will also serve as a symbol of resilience for a nation that has faced numerous challenges.
The return of competitive football comes as a relief to both local clubs and supporters, who have been eagerly anticipating the revival of the Lebanese football scene. The LFA is hopeful that this return will pave the way for a full and successful season ahead.
