Bourj Football Club (Template:Lang-ar) is a Lebanese football club based in Bourj el-Barajneh, Beirut.[2] Founded in 1967, the club has won one Lebanese FA Cup in 1993 and one Lebanese Challenge Cup in 2019.[3][4]

Nicknamed the "Leader of Dahieh", in 2019 the club was promoted to the Lebanese Premier League for the first time in 16 years.[1]

Supporters

Founded as the first club in the area, Bourj is considered to be the representative of all the families of the town.[5] Following the introduction of ultras groups in Lebanon in 2018, "Ultras Borjawi" (Template:Lang-ar) was formed at the start of the 2018–19 Lebanese Second Division season.[6]

Bourj supporters tend to be seen as the 12th man for their team, as they attend in good figures to their club’s games.

Club rivalries

Bourj's main rival have historically been Shabab Al Sahel, as they both fight for supremacy over the Dahieh suburbs.[5] The match has been dubbed the Dahieh derby.[1] Another important rivalry is with Shabab El-Bourj, due to the fact that they are both based in the Bourj el-Barajneh district.[5]
