Second Straight Win in Doha
Lebanon’s men’s national basketball team secured a tight 72-69 victory over host nation Qatar at the Doha International Quadruple Tournament, held at Qatar University’s hall. The result gave Lebanon a second straight win after an opening loss to Egypt and a strong response against the Philippines.
Experience in a Hostile Environment
Facing the home crowd, Lebanon relied on defensive discipline, smart shot selection, and late-game composure to protect its narrow lead. The performance underlined the team’s experience and ability to handle pressure in regional competitions.
Part of a Bigger Preparation Plan
While officially friendly, the Doha games are important tests ahead of future qualifiers and continental tournaments. By facing Egypt, the Philippines, and Qatar in quick succession, Lebanon gains valuable insight into its rotations, schemes, and late-game decision-making under real competitive stress.
