A
Brief Story
Nejmeh
Sporting Club is considered as one of the glorious Football [Soccer] teams in Lebanon. The
story started when some Beiruti young men met together in 1945, and decided to establish a
Football Club that not only competes in Sports competitions but also aims to serve
the moral standards, contribute in building a strong Lebanese Society, and guide the
young generations towards a better future.The first provisional committee of
Nejmeh Club was formed in 1945 and included: Mr. Anis Radwan [President], Yahia Daroub [Vice-President], Noureddine Hamedeh [General Secretary], Amin Monzer, Hamzah
Daroub, & Salah Senno..
This committee applied for a license
at the Lebanese government in 1945, the license was finally issued on April 28, 1947, and
the story starts right here..
The history of the club
took its track on the glory after the team was qualified to the 1st
division teams in 1951. After which the story continued with the rise
of great players who carried the Club's Football team on their
shoulders.
The major breakthrough
came in 1970 with the rise of the golden team at Nejmeh Club that
comprised of the best players in Lebanon (Mohammad Hatoum, Hassan
& Mahmoud Shatila, Habib Kammouneh, Zein Hashem, Jamal El Khatib,
Youssef El Ghoul, to mention a few, with the rest of their teammates. This golden team led the way to a decade of glory for
Nejmeh. The period of 1970's was the best in the club history. Nejmeh
dominated the Lebanese scene, and gained worldwide respect with the
series of international matches witnessed by world superstars of which
we mention The King Pele 1974 as an example.
In the late 1970's &
the 1980's, the ugly civil war prevailed the Lebanese scene, implanted
feelings of hatred among the Lebanese people, destroyed much of
Lebanon's infrastructure. The Lebanese Football in general, &
Nejmeh Club in specific suffered much of this war where the
championship has been suspended for 12 years (1975-1987). After the
end of the war, & the comeback of the championship, Nejmeh Club
restarted its road on the ladder of glory with the rise of new
generations of Lebanese players who could restore the championship
title to the club in year 2000.
