Description

Jwaya Sports Club (Arabic: نادي جويا الرياضي), commonly referred to as Jwaya, is a football club based in Jwaya, South Governorate, Lebanon. The club competes in the Lebanese Premier League, the top tier of Lebanese football, having achieved promotion to the division for the first time in 2025.

The club traces its origins to the football club of Bint Jbeil, a southern Lebanese city. Following financial and logistical difficulties faced by Bint Jbeil's club amid regional instability, particularly due to the Israeli aggression on southern Lebanon in 2024, coach Hussein Soufan led an initiative to preserve the team. With support from the Saad family in Jwaya – particularly Wissam Saad, who later became club president – the club was restructured, relocated to Jwaya, and rebranded as Jwaya SC.

With renewed financial backing, the club signed experienced players including Ali Hamam, Adnan Melhem, and Karim Abou Zeid, aiming for promotion to the Lebanese Premier League. Jwaya earned promotion for the first time in the 2024–25 season, finishing first in the Second Division with 30 points, ahead of Mabarra. The club secured the title following a decisive win against Tripoli on the final matchday.

Ahead of the 2025–26 Lebanese Premier League season, Jwaya appointed Youssef Al Jawhari as head coach, following his title-winning campaign with Ansar. The club also signed several Lebanon national team players, including Walid Shour, Hasan Srour, and Zein Farran. Notably, Hassan Maatouk, the national team's all-time most capped player and top scorer, also joined the club.

In 2025, Jwaya unveiled a new crest as part of a rebranding initiative. The simplified design features the letter "J", a star, and a shield, aiming to align with contemporary visual and digital standards. The club also introduced a gold and white colour scheme.
