Al-Majd Sports Club (Arabic: نادي المجد الرياضي) is a Syrian professional football club based in Damascus. The club is insignificant compared to the city rival Al-Wahda, but more popular than the other rival Al-Jaish.

History

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]

The club played in the country's second highest league, the Syrian League 1st Division after relegating from the Premier League in the 2018/2019 season.[6] In the 2021–22 season, after winning the double match 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]
