History

[edit]

Early achievements (1980s-2000s)

[edit]

The Lebanon women's national basketball team emerged on the regional scene in the late 20th century. They secured two third-place finishes at theArab Women's Basketball Championship in 1983 and 1997.[3] The team's success continued with a silver medal at the 2000Arab Women's Basketball Championship.[3] Building on this momentum, they achieved the championship title at the 2003Arab Women's Basketball Championship.[3] The following year, they claimed the gold medal at the 2004Pan Arab Games.[4] Further solidifying their regional presence, the team secured another gold medal at the2011 Pan-Arab Games.[5][6]

2009–2014: Promotion to division A of FIBA Asia and the FIBA ban

[edit]

On the global stage, their achievements included a promotion to Division A of theFIBA Women's Asia Cup after finishing as runners-up in Division B at the2009 FIBA Asia Championship for Women.[7] In the Division A of the2011 FIBA Asia Championship for Women, they displayed strong performance, finishing in 5th place.[8] However, internal disputes within the national federation led to a four-year FIBA suspension in 2013.[9] This suspension prevented their participation in the Division A of the2013 FIBA Asia Championship for Women, resulting in their return to Division B after the ban was lifted in 2014.[10]

2020–present: Promotion back to division A of FIBA Asia

[edit]

After a prolonged period, the team regained their place in Division A by winning the2021 FIBA Women's Asia Cup Division B.[11][12] Carrying the momentum forward, they secured their Division A status in the2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup by defeatingChinese Taipei with a final score of 75–73, ensuring their participation in the top tier for the upcoming2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.[13] Their 7th place finish in the2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup secured Lebanon's participation in theFIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Pre-Qualifying Tournament.[14] Lebanon did not advance in the Pre-Qualification after losing all three of their group phase games.[15]

The team's final opportunity for qualification came at the2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup, which served as the primary qualifier for the2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, awarding a direct berth to its champion and spots in the World Cup Qualifying Tournaments to the teams finishing in second to sixth place.[16] However, while Lebanon's 7th-place finish ended their campaign for the 2026 World Cup, it ensured they would remain in Division A for the2027 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.[17]
