The High Center for Military Sport (Arabic: المركز العالي للرياضة العسكرية al-Markaz al-aali lel reyada al-Askariya) is a Lebanese Armed Forces sports center, established in 1943, and is concerned with maintaining the physical fitness of soldiers, organize sports championships, and prepare soldiers for local and international competitions.^[1]

History

The center was established in 1943 by the French army as a part of the combat and skiing school in Haret Hreik, it was composed of one single sports hall and two offices. The center was later handed over to the LAF in 1946, which appointed Captain Aziz Addab as a first commander.

In 1968 Lebanon was chosen as a center of the middle east connection related to the international military sports council (CISM), and this became the responsibility of this center. In 1978, the LAF decided to change the name of the center, and since then it has become the High Center for Military Sport instead of Combat School.

During the 1982 Lebanon War the Israeli bombardment destroyed its fields, buildings and infrastructure.^[2]
