It seems Homentmen and Antranik have more fans for their Womens' Division than their Mens' Division

Some news and infos:
-Nayla Alam Din,considered one of the best Lebanese players got a serious injury in her foot.She is out for at least 6 months.

btw is shada nasr still playing?

I know it only looks like a few hundred people in the crowds, but that looks pretty good. It's very hard in the US to get people to come to woman's' games in both the pros, the NCAA, and high school. In Japan, I've heard that pro hoops is amazing. It's great to see good crowds in Lebanon.

Riyadi is still waiting Aida Bakhos,Ex-Lamar,with Aida the competition will be tougher.

You know, the estimation of people in Lebanon is about 3-4 millions max,so 1000-2000 fans in court are usually good for the men' basketball (sometimes in Sagesse's game 3000-4000 fans in the court,and 500-1000 watching the women' games is also good.
