Development
of The Team:
In the
past century, generations of players have graduated from Nejmeh Club Football
school to
become well known players for Nejmeh Club and the Lebanese National Team, and those
who were unlucky enough to shine at Nejmeh, joined other Lebanese teams and played
major roles in their teams.
At the
beginning, the story started with a few young men who met on one goal
that is to practice their "hobby", the team was mainly self-financed by the players / members of
the club themselves..
As the
time passed on, the duties and responsibilities of the players have become larger.. In
addition, with the assistance & the wise administration of Hajj Omar Ghandour
over the
past 33 years, the Club could reach compensatory standards that guarantee
decent life for the non-professional Lebanese players.
These new
standards transferred the players from a pure "hobby" situation to a
near-professional situation.. Nejmeh players, right now, receive annual incomes,
bonuses, and all the decent living standards to ensure their well being.. With all of
the above, the Lebanese players are allowed to practice their other
non-sports work which doesn't hinder their commitments at the club.. This situation
doesn't apply to the foreign players at the Club who are
committed to the club on a
professional World Class contractual basis.
The current
economical situations in Lebanon, and the absence of giant corporations that sponsor the
Club is hindering the possibility of shifting to a fully professional level. This shift,
if occurred, would make a large contribution to the level of Football in Lebanon,
especially with the abundant presence of raw Lebanese Football talents
who lack the proper care & guidance.
In " The Team" section, We shed the light on those "soldiers" who
participated in building the glorious past of Nejmeh Club in the past
century, and the current players who carry the glories of the club on
their shoulders. |
