As the Lebanese basketball team prepares for the "second window" of the Asian Cup qualifiers, the shadow of the war ravaging the Land of the Cedars complicates its participation. The matches against the United Arab Emirates on November 22 and Syria on November 25 are threatened by the current instability.
The squad will be led by a talented team including Wael Arakji, Omari Spellman, Ali Mansour, Jad Khalil, Ali Mezher, Karim Zeinoun, Sergio El Darwich, Amir Saoud, Jean-Luc Makhlouf, Gerard Hadidian, Hayk Gyokchyan and Karim Ezzeddine.
The squad remains resilient despite these uncertainties. The team's future is intrinsically linked to that of Lebanon, whose situation remains precarious.
