The Women & Sport - Lebanese National Olympic Committee (NOC) participated last Friday in the first scientific conference on physical culture and physical education organized by the General Directorate of State Security in partnership with the Arab Federation of Physical Culture- Physical Education. On the occasion, Assi, executive committee member and head of the women’s committee, outlined the role, goals and programs of the NOC and challenges facing Lebanese sports in general and the Olympic movement in particular. She pointed out to the results achieved by the NOC at the administrative and technical levels, noting the work plan drawn by the Committee aimed at promoting the presence of women in leadership positions in sports clubs and unions both administratively and technically based on and stimulated by the results of sports competitions here and abroad.
