07 Jun. 2016 – The Lebanese Rugby League Federation is putting all the efforts in developing the sport in Lebanon. They already did a big step forward by introducing the sport to schools and universities.
Since the foundation of the Federation, our Lebanese teams excelled abroad and the Lebanese league became a very tough championship. But now, we have talents who are looking for new challenges in order to improve. Our U18 National team is targeting to compete in Serbia among European teams.
They need to participate in international tournaments in order to improve faster and gain more experience in order to win titles for Lebanon in the future.
“For us Under 18s (U18) players, the competition is becoming increasingly challenging, showing a clear development of the sport in Lebanon, even at the school level. This is resulting in an increased level of skill in young players and is causing our U18 Team to partake in more and more challenging matches, such as winning against Saudi Arabia and Palestine.”
The team never played abroad, but they were invited to tale part in a Rugby tournament in Serbia where they will have the chance to play against european team such as England, France and Russia.
“We are striving to take part in this tournament, and are doing all we can to ensure that this trip will be a success, not only in winning certain games, but also in elevating the performance of Lebanese Rugby and proving Lebanon to be a country worthy of international athletic recognition in this sport.
Currently, we are preparing ourselves physically for the trip, but we are also financially burdened. We, the players and the national team representatives, have to provide the financing for our flights, accommodation, as well as our nourishment during the trip. On average, this is proving to be prohibitive for our team.”
So let’s support these young guys achieve their dream and represent our country in Europe! >>> DONNATE!
