List of Lebanon international footballers

The Lebanon national football team has represented Lebanon in international association football since 1940. The Lebanese Football Association (LFA) was founded in 1933 and became a member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) three years later.[1] However, the team did not play its first official international match until 27 April 1940,[2] suffering a 3–2 defeat to Mandatory Palestine in a friendly game.[3] In 1964, Lebanon joined the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and continues to compete as a member of the organisation.[1]
