The Lebanese Second Division (Arabic: الدوري اللبناني الدرجة الثانية) is the second division of Lebanese football. Established in 1933, it is controlled by the Lebanese Football Association. The 12 teams that participate in the league play each other twice, once at home and once away, with the champions and the second placed team qualifying to the Lebanese Premier League to replace the bottom two teams.

History

Salam Achrafieh won the inaugural edition of the Second Division, in 1933–34, after beating Ararad 2–0 in the final. There was no promotion or relegation system at the time, so Salam Achrafieh remained in the Second Division. In April 1935, Second Division clubs requested a promotion system to be implemented. It was proposed that, at the end of the season, every Second Division team that wanted to be promoted to the First Division had to play against three teams from the First Division, one match each, winning all three. The teams from the First Division had to have at least seven players from their previous season's squad.

Libanese voetbalcompetitie - tweede klasse

De Libanese tweede divisie is het tweede niveau van professioneel voetbal in Libanon. De competitie bestaat uit veertien clubs die een volledige competitie spelen om te bepalen wie er promoveert naar de Libanese eerste divisie. De onderste twee clubs degraderen naar de Libanese derde divisie.

De huidige kampioen is Shabab Al-Sahel, die in 2022 promoveerde naar de eerste divisie. Het meest succesvolle team in de geschiedenis van de competitie is Al-Ahli Saida, dat negen keer het kampioenschap heeft gewonnen.
