The Lebanese team that participated in the youth event "Arab Talent Championship" has returned to Beirut. This event was organized by the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sports under the supervision of the Arab League. Teams representing the ministries of youth and sports from 10 Arab countries took part in this event, which included Iraq as the host, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Oman, and Yemen. The participants were selected based on their academic excellence.
The Lebanese team consisted of Ali Al-Rida Moussa, Marwa Zain El-Din, Salim Ramadan, and Zainab Hourani, with Faten Hazima leading the delegation from the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Lebanon won in the first round against Yemen and Syria, qualifying for an exciting semi-final where they defeated Libya, and then advanced to a thrilling final against Iraq, which they also won.
The Lebanese team received the first-place trophy and medals from Dr. Ahmed Saad Aliwi, the Director General of the Scientific Care Department at the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sports, who, in turn, received a commemorative shield from Hazima.
At Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, the Head of the Public Relations Department at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Hassan Sharara, was present representing Minister Dr. George Kallas, along with the director of the minister's office, Hussein Omar, the families of the winning Lebanese team, and the management of the schools they belong to.
