Homenetmen Beirut

Homenetmen Beirut were founded in 1924, as one of the oldest teams in the region. The initial headquarters of Homenetmen Lebanon were in the Zuqaq al-Blat quarter of Beirut, before moving to Bourj Hammoud. Homenetmen were affiliated to the Tashnag party. In 1927, the team played their first game against a foreign team in Aleppo, Syria, beating Homenetmen Aleppo 1–0. Homenetmen first won the Lebanese Premier League in 1943–44; they won the league a further six times, holding a then-record seven titles. Homenetmen also finished as league runners-up seven times, and won the Lebanese FA Cup three times. In 1970, Homenetmen represented Lebanon at the Asian Champion Club Tournament for the first time; having refused to play Hapoel Tel Aviv of Israel in the semi-final on political grounds, they beat PSMS Medan of Indonesia in the third-place match. Homenetmen's refusal to play Hapoel was one of the reasons for the Israel Football Association's expulsion from the Asian Football Confederation in 1974. Following the Lebanese Civil War, Homenetmen fell into dismay: they were relegated to the Second Division for the first time in 2002, and to the Third Division in 2005. In 2021, Homenetmen were relegated to the Fourth Division. In 2026 they won the 2025–26 Fourth Division Beirut title, and were promoted to the Third Division via play-offs.
