Young Athlete Celine Haidar in Critical Condition After Enemy Airstrike on Chiyah

Celine Haidar, a talented young member of the Lebanese women’s national football team, was severely injured following an enemy airstrike on Beirut’s Chiyah area this weekend.

According to LBCI, Haidar was quickly transported to the Saint George Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery.

Former teammate and women’s football journalist Assile Toufaily dispelled rumors about Haidar’s death and confirmed that Haidar remains unconscious and in critical condition.

The football community and advocates for women’s sports worldwide are urged to reflect on this heartbreaking incident as they continue to allow this to happen with impunity.
