The club was founded in 1932 as Damascus Al-Ahly Club, and is one of the oldest football clubs in Syria.[1] The club's greatest success is the Syrian cup victory in the 1960/61 and 1977/78 season.[2]
At the end of the 2007/08 season of Premier League, the club was runner-up and thus achieved its highest ranking in the league at all.[3] As a runner-up in the league, they automatically qualified for the AFC Cup 2009.[4]
The biggest success of the club in recent years is the final of the Syrian Cup from the 2019/20 season.[5]
