Amchit Club

Amchit Club was founded in 1955 and has a long history of achievements in sports, cultural and social activities.

The latest achievement was reaching the 1st division basketball league in Lebanon with a record-breaking result of 21 wins and 0 losses with the club competing in the 2012–13 season against the big teams.

Besides the various sports schools for all age groups (basketball, soccer, table tennis...), the club offers many artistic and intellectual training programs (acting classes, dancing classes, language schools) and organizes many social events every year. In addition, it is also the house of a "Scout Du Liban" group that has been continuously active for more than 15 years.
