[[Tadamon Sour SC|Tadamon Sour Sporting Club]], or simply Tadamon (meaning "Solidarity"), nicknamed "The Ambassador of the South", was founded in 1946 and is thus the historically most established [[Football team|football club]] of Tyre. They play their home matches at the [[Sour Stadium|Tyre Municipal Stadium]] and have won one [[Lebanese FA Cup]] (2000–01) and two [[Lebanese Challenge Cup]]s (2013 and 2018). Tadamon's traditional rivals, [[Salam Sour SC|Salam Sour Sports Club]], are also based in Tyre.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

After eight years in Germany with Hamburg, [[SC Freiburg]] and [[1. FC Köln]] he played another six years in the [[Chinese Super League]] and then returned to Tadamon for one final season before retirement.{{fact|date=September 2024}}
