The Lebanon women's national under-17 football team (Arabic: منتخب لبنان لكرة القدم تحت 17 سنة للسيدات), colloquially known as "the Lady Cedars" (Arabic: صبايا الأرز|links=no),[1] [2] represents Lebanon in international women's youth football. The team is controlled by the Lebanon Football Association (LFA), the governing body for football in Lebanon. The team also serves as the women's national under-16 and women's national under-15 football team of Lebanon.
While the team has never qualified to either the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup or the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup, they have won both the Arab U-17 Women's Cup (in 2015) and the WAFF U-16 Girls Championship (in 2019 and 2023). With their 2015 Arab Cup win, they became the first Lebanese national football team (men's or women's) to win a title.[3]
