Club Scene
Beirut Phoenicians Rugby Union Football Club
Beirut Phoenician R.U.F.C. was formed in 1995 by Col. Big Bird, David Malving and Alex Jammal in response to a request from the British Embassy for a rugby team to play HMS Cardiff, a Royal Navy warship that docked in Beirut for a few days in November 1995. With only a few hours practice they ran the visitors, who went on that year to win the Royal Navy Cup, very close.
Jamhour Black Lions RFC
Created in 2002, Jamhour Black Lions was the second club in Lebanon to form for the purpose of playing rugby union.
