The rugby league Mediterranean Cup, scheduled to take place in Lebanon next month for the second consecutive year, has been welcomed by His Excellency Ahmed Habbous, deputy of Tripoli.
Mr Habbous declared: The city of Tripoli is always proud to host high-profile international sporting events and we are extremely pleased to see that our continuing commitment to the development of rugby league has brought the Mediterranean Cup back to our city.
Furthermore, Mr Habbous consolidated his support for the tournament, set to be played between the 19-25 October, by saying: It seems that rugby league has found a home in the north of Lebanon, a sport in its infancy in our country that we are only too happy to nurture.
Current holders Lebanon, nicknamed the Bartercard Cedars, will face France, Morocco and Serbia & Montenegro over three match-days, on the 19th and 25th in Tripolis International Stadium, and on the 22nd in Beiruts Municipal Stadium.
The Lebanese national team is ranked highly in international rugby league due to the large number of professional players contracted to clubs in Australia.
