Racing Club¹s annual dinner in the presence of its honorary president Michel Pharaon

Racing Club organized its annual dinner which was attended by its honorary president, Lebanese Minister of Tourism, Michel Pharaon , Minister of Youth and Sports Abel Taleb Hanawi, and MPs Nadim Gemayel and Serge Torsarkissian. Also in attendance were Lebanon Football Association President, Hachem Haidar, and Mediterranean Franchise Association President, Charles Arbid, in addition to members of the honorary board and board of trustees who support the Club, as well as sports, political, social, and media figures. “We decided to hold this event to keep developing and growing the athletic foundation, which plays an important role in the lives of youth in Achrafieh and all over Lebanon. We are doing this through the founding of a sports academy comprising 160 youths considered to be a potential reservoir for the club after they graduate and join their respective age groups. We are determined to give them great attention and help them succeed and shine in what they do,” enthused Minister Pharaon. “We are proud of all the Achrafieh associations because they have proved to have great sportsmanship and perseverance in a constant spirit of renewal; they have also grown to be an emblem of the concept of mens sana in corpore sano [‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’],” added Pharaon. “I hope that these associations, and the Racing Club in particular, will grow through these values,” concluded Pharaon. The event included performances by Racing Club members.
