Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) has added a national club title to its record of university sporting achievements, with its women’s futsal team winning the Lebanese championship after an unbeaten season of 11 wins in 11 matches.

Organized by the Lebanese Football Association, the championship marks another milestone for a team that has gone three consecutive years without a defeat in university competition, winning every national university title during that period, including the Lebanese University Sports Federation championships and cup.

USJ competes at the national club level through Club 1875, its sports club founded in 2015 and named after the University’s founding year.

The women’s futsal team is coached by Maroun El Khoury, who also leads Lebanon’s national team and guides USJ’s players in university and national competitions.

The team will now turn its attention to the international stage, representing Lebanon at the World InterUniversities Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia, from November 4 to 8, 2026.

Having secured bronze medals in Rome in 2024 and Barcelona in 2025, USJ will aim to build on its success at this year’s international tournament.

From the classroom to the court, USJ shines on university, national, and international stages.
