The Lebanon national football team, controlled by the Lebanese Football Association, represents Lebanon in men's international association football. Founded in 1933, the LFA was one of the first football governing bodies established in the Middle East and joined FIFA in 1936. Lebanon competes as a member of the Asian Football Confederation, which it joined in 1964.
Lebanon played their first FIFA-recognised international match against Mandatory Palestine in 1940. They regularly participated in regional competitions such as the Arab Games and Arab Cup during the 1950s and 1960s, achieving third-place finishes at the 1957 and 1997 Arab Games and the 1963 Arab Cup. The Lebanese Civil War disrupted the national team's activities between 1975 and 1990, causing several withdrawals from international competitions before a gradual return to regular international football in the 1990s.
Although Lebanon have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, they reached the final round of AFC qualification twice, for the 2014 and 2022 tournaments. The team has qualified for the AFC Asian Cup three times, first appearing as hosts in 2000 and later qualifying for the 2019 and 2023 editions.
