Founded in 2014, they compete in the Lebanese Women's Football League and have won five league titles, three FA Cup titles, and one Super Cup title. SAS were also runners-up in the inaugural edition of the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship.

History[]

Formed in 2014, SAS debuted in the 2014–15 season. They won the Football League after beating Girls Football Academy (GFA) in the final matchday of the season, on 23 July 2015, and won the FA Cup by beating 3–0 in the final, on 28 August 2015.[1] SAS won three consecutive league titles, between the 2014–15 and 2016–17 season.[2] In the 2018–19 season SAS achieved their second domestic double by winning both the league,[3] their fourth in total,[2] and the cup,[3] their second.[4]

In 2019 SAS took part in the inaugural edition of the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship, an international club competition for West Asian (WAFF) clubs, along with four other clubs.[5] After winning their opening two matches, against (7–0) and Abu Dhabi (2–1),[6][7] SAS lost against eventual champions Shabab Ordon (3–0),[8] before drawing the last game of the tournament against Riffa (3–3) to finish as runners-up.[9]

On 1 March 2020, SAS won 4–2 against newly-founded Eleven Football Pro (EFP) in the effective final of the 2019–20 season, becoming five-time champions of the league.[10]
