In game 4 of the 2011–2012 Finals, Champville SC defeated Anibal Zahle 63–57. As a result, Champville SC won the series 3–1. The finals did not end without problems though, just like the semi-finals, as “A large part of the Annibal Zahle audience was absent from the game in Zahlé, after online appeals were posted on the Lebanese Forces website calling on March 14 alliance supporters to boycott the game and to follow it from the Martyrs Square in Zahlé".

Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the basketball club had a disagreement with the school, leading to its rebranding as CS Maristes. Additionally, they began using the Antoine Choueiri Stadium in Ghazir as their home arena
