context_page_description: Women's football in Lebanon officially began in 2005, with the creation of the Lebanese Women's Football. While not popular, the sport is mainly played in affluent areas in Lebanon. One of the barriers of the growing sport is the prejudice that many women face for playing it. In recent years, however, football has become more widespread among the female population in Lebanon. With the Lebanese Football Association investing more into the youth system, Lebanon has achieved considerable success within its region.
  The women's national under-17 team won the Arab U-17 Women's Cup in 2015, while in 2019 Lebanon won both the WAFF U-15 Girls Championship and the WAFF U-18 Girls Championship. Also the senior team, mainly made up of the same youth players, came third in the 2019 WAFF Women's Championship.
  In 2019, Stars Association for Sports were runners-up in the inaugural edition of the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship, a club competition for teams from West Asia.
