The 2nd Pan-Arab Games were held in Beirut, Lebanon, from October 12 to 27, 1957, bringing together athletes from across the Arab world to compete in various sporting disciplines including athletics, football, and fencing. Hosted at the newly constructed Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium, the multi-sport event served as a major platform for regional athletic excellence, youth exchange, and inter-Arab solidarity during Lebanon's golden era.

Issued on September 12, 1957, to celebrate the tournament, this commemorative issue (2nd Pan-Arab Games Beyrout 1957 / الدورة الرياضية العربية الثانية) features key sporting disciplines and event venues including track runners, football, fencing, and President Camille Chamoun alongside the sports stadium.
