The Lebanese National Women's Football Team (Arabic: لبنان الوطني لكرة القدم – French: Équipe du Liban de football) represents the Lebanese Republic in international association football competitions. Their official nickname is "The Cedars". The team is controlled by Lebanon Football Association (LFA), which is currently a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and also the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF).
The team has never qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup nor to the AFC Women's Asian Cup. They are regular participants at the WAFF Women's Championship and claimed third place in the 2007 tournament. The Lebanese women's team was best known as more successful than the men's team.
Lebanon women's team was created as the earliest women's teams in West Asia when most of Western Asia did not have a women's team. Along with Jordan, Iran, Palestine and Syria, they are the earliest women's teams in West Asia. Even so, they had to wait to their first international campaign: the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification to qualify for their first competition, the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup which they failed.
