Salam Zgharta

Salam Zgharta was founded in 1971, after a group of football enthusiasts bought the licence of former club Salam Achrafieh (Arabic: نادي السلام الأشرفية), based in the Achrafieh district of Beirut. In their first season, the club got demoted to the Lebanese Second Division with Riyada Wal Adab, after the early finish of the season due to start of the Lebanese Civil War.

The start of the 1990s was positive for the Northern club, finishing third in the 1990–91 Lebanese Premier League with 35 points. Following the expansion of the Premier League to 20 teams divided into two groups, Salam Zgharta finished the 1991–92 season as second of their group and fourth in the league standing after securing 23 points in 20 games. In 1996, Youssef Jabbour got elected vice president.

In the mid-2000s, Kabalan lost interest in the club; an election took place in October 2006, three games after the start of the 2006–07 season, and Estephan Frangieh became the president.

In the 2020–21 season, after eight consecutive seasons in the top flight, Salam Zgharta were relegated to the Second Division. They were promoted in 2021–22, after finishing second in the Second Division, before being relegated back in 2022–23, finishing 11th in the Premier League.
