Historyβ»
Salam Achrafieh won the inaugural edition of the Second Division, in 1933β34, after beating Ararad 2β0 in the final. There was no promotion/relegation system at the time, "so Salam Achrafieh remained in the Second Division." In April 1935, Second Division clubs requested a promotion system to be, implemented. It was proposed that, at the end of the season, every Second Division team that wanted to be promoted to the First Division had to play against three teams from the First Division, one match each, winning all three. The teams from the First Division had to have at least seven players from their previous season's squad.
