In preparation for the Arab Championship for men's rugby union (sevens), which will take place early next year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Lebanese Rugby Union has commenced training sessions for the national team at the "Shabab Al-Sahil" Club in Haret Hreik. The sessions are led by national coach Suleiman Al-Maqdah and feature 25 players, under the supervision of Union Manager Marwan Azar. Training will be conducted three times a week, before transitioning to daily sessions starting next year, in order to select the final squad for the seventh Arab Rugby Union Cup in February of next year.
