When sport steps outside the lines and joins the fight, it becomes a remedy. On July 24 in Hammana, Lebanese tennis is getting ready to play a match point against addiction.
A court, a cause, and a powerful message: on Thursday, July 24, the peaceful town of Hammana will host a match like no other. Backed by the Cedar Rehab Center, in partnership with the Lebanese Tennis Federation, this symbolic event will bring together tennis pros, media figures, and committed influencers with one clear mission: to send a strong message — sport heals, sometimes more than treatment itself.
A Cause, a Net, Shared Values
In a friendly yet deeply meaningful atmosphere, this initiative aims to break down the wall of indifference surrounding addiction. Because behind every serve and forehand lies another game — one centered on physical activity, mental balance, and personal recovery.
“Sport brings structure, discipline, and a sense of belonging. It’s a real school of life, and a lifeline for those fighting addiction,” the organizers emphasize. And the message is clear: when the body moves, the mind finds peace.
When Sport Becomes a Voice
What makes this event even more impactful is the presence of public figures who can truly connect with youth. Athletes, journalists, and influencers are stepping up to spread a message of prevention and support in their own unique ways.
There are no rankings, no points at stake — only causes to defend and perspectives to shift. The goal is twofold: to break the stigma around addiction and to show that sport can be a stepping stone toward healing.
More Than a Match — A Message
For one afternoon, tennis becomes a universal language to say that addiction is not a life sentence. In Hammana, hope will be exchanged across the net — with heart as the racket and resilience as the baseline.
