General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: - Required and not done. The nominator has five DYK credits.
Overall: The first hook should be more interesting/hooky to anyone who knows anything about relations between Israel and Lebanon. You can alternatively have a hook that combines a bit of both, like this: ALT2: ... that the Lebanon national football team's first official match was played in Tel Aviv? feminist (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

@Feminist: I think ALT2 works great! I've added the QPQ. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 13:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

for main hook, for ALT1. I can't formally approve a hook I suggested but I don't think ALT2 is sufficiently different from the two original hooks to require a new review. I'll leave the choice to the promoter. feminist (talk) 01:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

• Comment to the promoter: it would be a good idea to feature this DYK on 27 April, as it would mark the 80th anniversary of the match. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 19:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

• In that case, we should add this wording:
• ALT1a:... that the Lebanon national football team's first official match 80 years ago today was against Mandatory Palestine?
• ALT2a: ... that the Lebanon national football team's first official match was played 80 years ago today in Tel Aviv?
• Please run at 12:00 UTC. Yoninah (talk) 00:22, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

for both ALT1a and ALT2a or a combination of both. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 00:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
