At Bartercard, we are very pleased to become part of the launch of this great sport in Lebanon by sponsoring the Lebanese national team during the forthcoming Mediterranean Cup, said Mr Oussama Fanous, Chairman of Bartercard Lebanon SAL.
Lebanon coach Darren Maroun is currently preparing the core of a strong squad in Australia, where Lebanon boasts a number of elite professional players such as Hassan Saleh, Hazem El Masri and Ahmed Bajouri.
Maroun will integrate five players from Lebanons one-year-old domestic competition into the Bartercard Cedars squad of 20 as an aid to the sports continuing development.
As well as continually supporting the local community within Lebanon, we are proud to see interest growing in Rugby League," added Mr Fanous.
We look forward to welcoming the Mediterranean Cup to the shores of Lebanon and to see the growth of Rugby League in this country both at an internationally competitive level but also, and more importantly, to see the sport introduced to our schools and youth of Lebanon.
Entrance to all matches, scheduled for Tripoli and Beirut, will be free of charge to the public.
