Racing Club (Arabic: نادي الراسينغ), known as Racing Beirut or simply Racing, is a professional football club based in Achrafieh, a district in Beirut, Lebanon, that competes in the Lebanese Premier League.[1] They play their home matches at the Fouad Chehab Stadium and are primarily supported by the Christian community.[4]
Racing Beirut played international friendly games against a variety of famous clubs and selections during its golden era, including one against the Brazil under-23 team.[5]
History
The club was founded in 1934 by several locals from the Achrafieh and Gemmayzeh districts of Beirut, Lebanon.[6] The club's name is inspired from Racing Paris, a French football club, of which the club's presidents were passionate.[6] Racing played five years in the Lebanese Second Division, and got its first promotion to the Lebanese Premier League in 1940.[6]
In 1953 Albert Kheir was elected as the club's president.[6] He sought to heighten the club's status in the country, by buying 20-year-old Joseph Abou Murad from Intissar Chayyah, Said Haidar from Al Nahda, and Yuguslavian coach Ljubiša Broćić.[6]
Club rivalries
Historically, during the 1960s and 1970s, Racing's main rivals were Nejmeh, also from Beirut.[6] Racing plays the Achrafieh derby with Sagesse.[7]
