Farid Matar has won a pageant with a rich legacy. This year itself Kamel Raad, who finished 4th in last year’s Mister Lebanon pageant, won Mister United Continents title. Last year’s Mister Lebanon winner Rabih El Zein was 1st Runner-up at Mister International 2014. In 2012, Mister Lebanon Ali Hammoud won Mister International, but was later dethroned. In 2010, Abdel Rehman Balaa was Top 5 Mister World. In 2009, Marcelino Gebrayel was 2nd Runner-up at Mister International. In 2008, Mohamed Chamseddine was 1st Runner-up at Mister International. In 2007, Bassel Abou Hamdan was 4th Runner-up. In 2006, Wissam Hanna won Mister International. In 2003, Assad Tarabay was 1st Runner-up at Mister World. Thus Mister Lebanon winners are always among the strong performers in Male International pageants.

Farid Matar may represent Lebanon at Mister World, though it is not confirmed. In case he does, he will get stiff competition from Mister India Rohit Khandelwal, Mister England Chris Bramell and Mister Brazil Anderson Tomazini. Generally Mister World is not held every year. It is also possible that he goes for Mister International that will be held in Manila, Philippines this year. The reigning Mister International is Neil Perez from Philippines. Farid will be considered one of the front-runners at the pageant. Lebanon is perhaps the second most successful country at Mister International with 2 wins. Brazil leads over Lebabon with one more placement in Top 10.
