The Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) has once again affirmed its status as the undisputed leader in university sports in Lebanon, securing first place for the fourth consecutive season in the national university rankings released by the Lebanese University Sports Federation.

Outperforming 24 other competing universities, USJ accumulated an impressive 195 points across 34 tournaments held throughout the academic year; well ahead of its closest competitor, the Lebanese American University - Beirut (LAU - Beirut), which finished second with 122 points.

USJ’s student-athletes excelled across a wide range of disciplines, both team and individual, among men and women alike, showcasing remarkable skill, discipline, and team spirit.

At the season’s closing ceremony, USJ's Athletics Director, Maroun El Khoury received the championship trophy from the Minister of Youth and Sports, expressing his pride:

“We dedicate this victory to our students, coaches, Rector, and all those who believe in the mission of USJ. Reaching the top is hard, but staying there is even tougher. We thrive on challenges. Our secret lies not in money or recruitment, but in the family spirit, loyalty, and genuine passion for representing our University. This historic achievement goes far beyond athletics, it reflects USJ’s core values of leadership, excellence, and holistic education. Once again, USJ stands tall, not only as a beacon of academic brilliance, but as Lebanon’s leading university in both mind and spirit. ”
