History

Founded in 1968 as Racing Hazmieh (Arabic: راسينغ حازمية), in 2005 Al Shabab Al Arabi Club Beirut (Arabic: نادي الشباب العربي بيروت) bought the licence of the former club.[1] In 2010 they won the Lebanese Fourth Division title, moving to the Third Division. In 2016 they moved to the Second Division and the following year they promoted to the Lebanese Premier League for the first time in their history. Their stay didn't last long, as in 2018 they were relegated back to the Second Division,[2][3] before being relegated the following year to the Third Division.

In 2019, the club was purchased by Al Ansar FC president Nabil Badr, who transferred the team from Beirut to Tripoli and renamed it Ansar Al Mawadda Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي انصار المودة الرياضي).[4]
