Lebanon made its Paralympic Games début at the 1960 Summer Paralympics in Rome, Italy with one athlete, Nizar Bissat, who competed in archery and in swimming.
The country reappeared at 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney, sending just two male representatives to compete in sprinting (T44 category). Hussein Ghandour was a non-starter in his race, while Mahmoud Habbal failed to complete his. Lebanon was absent from the 2004 Games, but returned in 2008, with a single competitor: Edward Maalouf, in cycling. Maalouf entered two events, and won bronze in each of them.[1]
Lebanon has never taken part in any of the Winter Paralympics.[2]
