Hello! Thank you for your help and consideration in sending ultimate frisbee players from Lebanon to compete against 27 other mixed national teams at the World Beach Ultimate Championships for the first time ever this November in Portimao, Portugal (Link: https://wfdf.sport/event/wfdf-2025-world-beach-ultimate-championships-wbuc/ ).
The Frisbee community in Lebanon was first established in 2015. It started with just a few players meeting on a weekly basis to enjoy the game of ultimate frisbee, and has developed into a solid community over the years. Ultimate has gained popularity among Lebanese and foreigners in Lebanon, and several established teams have since begun to practice and compete in local and international tournaments. Check out highlights from the Mawj beach tournament we hosted this past June! (Video Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DO85F1tDJGB/).
Unfortunately, Lebanon and her people have had to cope with some heavy hits, including: political instability, a collapsing economy, the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Beirut blast, and most recently bombings in 2024. Despite these struggles our community faces everyday, we have fought to revive and continue to build the ultimate spirit. This has led us to where we are today, presenting the Lebanese National Team on the world stage for the first time.
Our National Team is a mixed team made up of 20 passionate athletes who share one big dream of representing our country—and our spirit, resilience, and love of the game that keeps our community alive—at the Worlds level.
Getting to WBUC is no small journey: we’re covering travel, accommodation, food and beverage, and participation costs entirely on our own. We have calculated tournament fees to cost ~$1750-$1800 per player. Here's a breakdown of those costs:
Due to the current situation in Lebanon, it is financially impossible for many of our players who would like to participate to finance such a trip. With the help of this fundraiser we want to make sure that cost is not a barrier for our players and that the tournament is accessible for everyone regardless of socioeconomic background.
With your support, we can proudly carry Lebanon’s name, inspire future players back home, and prove that, even from a small but determined community, we can rise to compete on the world stage.
We will also be opening a team store (stay tuned) if you'd like to buy your own jersey (see pictures below)!
Your support would mean so much and will stay with us every step of the way. If you want to get to know us a little better and follow up on our activities, take a look at our Instagram page ☺
