In light of the escalating violence in Lebanon, the Lebanese Football Association (LFA) has indefinitely postponed all domestic football matches.
The decision comes in response to recent attacks by Israel in southern Lebanon, which have heightened fears of an all-out war.
Since the onset of the bombardment on Friday, the situation in Lebanon has deteriorated rapidly.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reports at least 558 deaths, including 50 children, and 1,835 injuries.
The LFA’s decision to halt all football activities reflects the broader unrest affecting the nation, as communities grapple with the impact of the conflict.
The decision to postpone matches highlights the broader impact of the current situation on daily life in Lebanon, as communities deal with displacement and uncertainty.
The LFA remains focused on prioritizing safety and will provide updates regarding the status of future matches as conditions evolve.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has also had a devastating impact on the sporting community in Palestine. Reports indicate that at least 410 athletes, sports officials, and coaches have been killed as a result of the conflict.
This tragic toll includes 297 footballers, of whom 84 were children.
