Nasser Club Bar Elias (in Arabic ناصر برالياس) is a Lebanese football club based in Barelias in the Bekaa Valley. The club competes in the Lebanese Second Division.[1]

History

Located in the city of Barelias, the club is composed of players who live in the refugee camps in the city: both Palestinians and Syrians are welcomed with open arms to the team. The club isn't only a football club, but it also fights the garbage problem and pollution of the Litani River, organizing regular clean-up operations in the city. They developed educational programs and managed to develop the first secondary school in the city for 50,000 Lebanese and about 15,000 Palestinians. Members of the Nasser Club also organized the distribution of food and clothing for the refugees in the city.[2][3]
