Damascus Al-Ahli Club (Arabic: نادي دمشق الأهلي), formerly Al-Majd Sports Club (Arabic: نادي المجد الرياضي) is a Syrian professional football club based in Damascus.
History
[edit]
The club was founded in 1932 as Damascus Al-Ahli Club, and is one of the oldest football clubs in Syria.[1] The club's greatest success is the Syrian cup victory in 1961 and 1978.[2] At the end of the 2007–08 season, the club was runner-up and thus achieved its highest ranking in the league.[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.[5]
The club played in the country's second league, the Syrian League 1st Division, after relegating from the Premier League in the 2018–19 season.[6] In the 2021–22 season, after winning the double against Hurriya SC, when they won 2–1 in the first match and drew 1–1 in the second, they advanced to the Syrian Premier League.[citation needed] In August 2025, the club reverted to its original name, Damascus Al-Ahli Club.[7]
