Homenetmen Lebanon has had teams in various national leagues, most notably in association football, basketball, track and field, table tennis, and cycling, among others.[1]
Lebanon's branch of the Homenetmen organisation was founded in 1924 in Beirut. They first established a football team, who first won the Lebanese Premier League in the 1943–44 season.[1] Homenetmen was closely affiliated with the Tashnag party.[2] Homenetmen Beirut were one of the most prominent football teams, winning the league title seven times.[2]
Following the Lebanese Civil War, the club fell into dismay; they were relegated to the Lebanese Second Division for the first time in 2002, and to the Lebanese Third Division in 2005.[2] Ever since, the organisation shifted its focus away from football to indoor sports.[2]
The organisation has eight branches in different locations in Lebanon: Beirut, Tripoli, Jounieh, Bourj Hammoud, Anjar, Zahlé, and Jdeideh.[2]
