A group of Lebanese basketball players residing in the Emirates had
the great idea of forming Ittihad al Shabab al Lubnani (Union of
Lebanese Youth). This team of players has gained great notoriety
inside teh Emirates by displaying great keenness in practicing the
game, to the extent that it has now been officially invited as a
guest team to participate in a preperatory basketball tournament
immediately prior to the regular championship games in UAE.

Our team of Lebanese men has fallen into the same group with UAE's Al
Ahli, Al Wasl and Al Shabab basketball teams, whereas Group 2 will
include Al Wasl, An Nasr, Al Shariqa and Ash Shaab.

The tournament's first round is scheduled for 29, 30 and 31 Octiober.
The top two teams from each group will reach the semi-finals.

All the best success to our Lebanese team and what a fine idea we say.
