The Lebanese National Women's Football Team (Arabic: لبنان الوطني لكرة القدم – French: Équipe du Liban de football) represents the Lebanese Republic in international association football competitions.[1] Their official nickname is "The Cedars". The team is controlled by Lebanon Football Association (LFA), which is currently a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and also the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF).

The team has never qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup nor to the AFC Women's Asian Cup. They are regular participants at the WAFF Women's Championship and claimed third place in the 2007 tournament. The Lebanese women's team was best known as more successful than the men's team.

History

Lebanon women's team was created in 2005 as the earliest women's teams in West Asia when most of Western Asia did not have a women's team. Along with Jordan, Iran, Palestine and Syria, they are the earliest women's teams in West Asia. Even so, they had to wait to their first international campaign: the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification to qualify for their first competition, the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup which they failed.[2]

Lebanon first campaign in a n international competition was to qualify for the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup when Lebanon was drawn with Jordan, Uzbekistan and Kuwait with their first manager was the Armenian Vatche Sarkissian (later was under command of Farid Njeim). Unlike the men's, the women's had long distance, so so much thing could happen. But it did not happen easily. Lebanon began by their 0-5 loss to the West Asia's giant Jordan before suffered another loss over Uzbekistan 0-4. Being eliminated, Lebanon only had its last chance and they beat Kuwait a large result 12-1. Lebanon ended their campaign by earning only 3 points.
