Lebanon at the 2010 Winter OlympicsBeach volleyball in ByblosCamille Chamoun Sports City Stadium in Beirut
Because of Lebanon's unique geography, both summer and winter sports thrive in the country. In fact, during autumn and spring it is sometimes possible to engage in both activities on the same day; for example, skiing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon.[1][2]
Lebanon hosted the Asian Cup in 2000[3] and the Pan-Arab Games in 1957 and again in 1997. In December 2011, Lebanon gained acceptance to host the 13th Pan-Arab Games in 2015.[4] Although the Asian Winter Games were under consideration to be held in Lebanon in 2009, they ultimately did not take place.[5] However, Lebanon did host Les Jeux de la Francophonie in 2009.
