The Lebanon national beach soccer team (Arabic : منتخب لبنان لكرة القدم الشاطئية ) represents Lebanon in international beach soccer competitions and is controlled by the Lebanon Football Association , the governing body for football in Lebanon.
In 2016 Lebanon achieved third place at the 5th Asian Beach Games , beating Afghanistan 9–5 at the bronze medal match.[2] This became the first medal in an official competition in the history of the Lebanese Football Association for any men's national team (football, futsal and beach soccer).[3] They have also managed two fourth place finishes in a row at the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup , in 2015 and 2017 , narrowly missing out on the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup both times.[4]
