The “Al-Hadi” team was crowned champion by winning the final match against the Lebanese School for the Blind and Deaf - Baabda (13-10).

The match was played in two halves of 12 minutes each and ended in a draw, before the time was extended by 5 additional minutes, at the end of which the Al-Hadi team finished the match in its favour and won the title.

The match was attended by the deputy president of the Paralympic Committee Brigadier Mohammad Abdouni, who delivered a speech, and the secretary Fadi Rouhana, along with a crowd from the two institutions and the administrative body of the Lebanese School for the Blind and Deaf - Baabda.

The refereeing was supervised by the head of the goalball committee Fadi Rouhana, Dr Bachir Abdel Khalek, Youssef Al-Tawil, Ghadir Sbeity, Sara Jaber and Hiba Al-Jaafil.
