Women's football in Lebanon officially began in 2005, with the creation of the Lebanese Women's Football (LWF). Despite the prejudice women have faced for playing football, the sport's popularity has risen since the late 2010s. Indeed, Lebanon has achieved significant success within the West Asia region.

Founded in 2008, the Lebanese Women's Football League is the national club league; Sadaka won the league a record seven times. Internationally, Safa became the first Lebanese team to win the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship in 2022.

The senior national team, who made their debut in 2006, finished runners-up in the WAFF Women's Championship in 2022, and in third place twice in 2007 and 2019. The youth teams won the Arab U-17 Women's Cup in 2015, the WAFF U-18 Girls Championship in 2019 and 2022, and the WAFF U-16 Girls Championship in 2019 and 2023.
