HISTORY Initially the Lebanese players were all Australian born and came mostly from inner-city Sydney. They started playing full internationals in 1998. In that time they beat Italy, travelled to Japan and the U.S.A. and beat both of them (the latter in the World Cup qualifier) and won the Mediterranean Cup in France. They had to earn their place at the 2000 World Cup by winning the qualifying competition. First of all they won the Mediterranean group, defeating Morocco and arch rivals Italy, before travelling to Florida where they beat the USA, winners of the Pacific group. Since then a domestic league has been set up and in 2005 a fully Lebanese team known as Lebanon Espoirs toured England. COMPETITIONS Lebabon has participated in:
