This season saw an increase in teams from last season, from 12 to 14 teams in the competition.[1] However, two of the teams competing (Racing Jounieh FC & Al-Tadamon Nabatieh) decided to withdraw from the 2006-07 season. The Lebanese Football Federation reacted swiftly by relegating both teams to the Lebanese Third Division automatically leading to both relegation places being full even before the league had started.[1]
