Arine Sports Club (ASC) (Arabic: نادي العرين الرياضي) was created on February 10, 1954. It is a multi-sports club based in Miye ou Miye, Lebanon. The co-founders[1] are: George Khoury Wakim (President), Girigi (a.k.a. Giris) Hanna Saikali, Tanous Joubran Wakim, and Nasri Youssef Wakim. The club competes in volleyball, basketball and indoor soccer (football) games .
Original logo was created featuring a lion with its palm on a volleyball and Cedar of Lebanon in the background. In the 1990s, the logo was modified to show the lion sitting next to the volleyball and the cedar tree shown in the background. In 2016, the logo was modified to reflect the modern look.[citation needed]
The Lion is the main mascot for the club and was introduced in 2016.[citation needed]
