Lebanese National Basketball Team Wins Arab Cup For First Time In History

The Lebanese National Basketball team just won the final match of the Arab Men’s Basketball Championship, which was being held in the United Arab Emirates, after a historic comeback victory over the champion Tunisian team with a score of 72-69, at Al-Nasr Club Hall!



Our national team was down 9 points with 5 minutes left, but our players were amazing, especially Sergio Darwich, Wael Arakji, and Ali Haidar, as our coach, Jad El Hage, was a tactical expert.

The Lebanese supporters were also a heartwarming part of the game, as Lebanese expats in Dubai gathered to encourage their beloved team, and many were unable to enter the stadium, which was nearly full.
