Al-Khor SC is best known for its [football](/source/Association_football) team, which competes in the [Qatar Stars League](/source/Qatar_Stars_League) from the 2024-25 season again after a short absence of 2 years in [Qatari Second Division](/source/Qatari_Second_Division). It plays its home games at [Al-Khor Stadium](/source/Al-Khor_SC_Stadium). ## History ### Foundation period (1951–1964) One of the three [Al Khor Towers](/source/Al_Khor_Towers), represented in the club logo Al-Khor was unofficially established in 1951 as "Al-Taawun", The club was created by oil workers to fulfill their needs with the appropriate facilities to invest their energy after their participation with the multinational oil companies at the time. In 1961, the club was re-established and set [football](/source/Association_football) as its main sport, along with other sports and activities. There were two other clubs in Al Khor, but none of the clubs cooperated. In 1962, Al-Khor SC merged with Al-Jeel Sports Club, one of the other two clubs.[2] In 1964, they conglomerated with *Nahdi Al-Aswad* ("Black Sports Club") and formally made a request to join the [Qatar Football Association](/source/Qatar_Football_Association) on 10 June that year. From then on, the club was known as *Al-Taawun*.[3] ### Post-merger (1964–2004) The club took advantage of the youth movement and was provided with funds for all facilities. He designed plans and programs to increase the number of participants in the majority of sports. Since 1961, yellow and white were the club colors. In 1964 the club entered the football league and changed the colors to blue and white. Currently, all three colors are included in the crest.[2] ### Renaming to *Al Khor* (2004–present) In 2004, the club name was changed to **Al Khor** after the [Qatar Olympic Committee](/source/Qatar_Olympic_Committee) had ordered the name change to clarify the location of the club.[2] ## Honours - **[Qatar Crown Prince Cup](/source/Qatar_Crown_Prince_Cup)** - **Winners (1):** 2005 - **[Qatar Sheikh Jassem Cup](/source/Qatar_Sheikh_Jassem_Cup)** - **Winners (1):** 2002 - **[Qatari 2nd Division](/source/Qatari_2nd_Division)**: - **Winners (2):** 1983, 2024 ## Asian record Competition Pld W D L GF GA GCC Champions League 51 22 11 18 75 61 Total 15 6 2 7 14 25 - **Q** = Qualification - **GS** = Group stage - **R16** = Round of 16 - **QF** = Quarter-final - **SF** = Semi-final **[GCC Champions League](/source/GCC_Champions_League)** Round Country Club Home Away Aggregate 2008 GS Al-Nassr 1–3 GS Qadsia 0–5 GS Al-Nahda 1–1 GS Al Muharraq 1–1 2009–10 GS Sur 1–0 0–1 1–1 GS Al-Nassr 0–4 1–3 1–7 2012 GS Al Naser 2–1 1–0 3–0 GS Busaiteen 2–0 1–2 3–2 QF Al Jahra 1–0 SF Al Wasl 2–1 0–3 2–4 ## Individual honours **[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup](/source/2009_FIFA_Confederations_Cup):** - The following players have played in the FIFA Confederations Cup whilst playing for Al Khor: - 2009 – [Alaa Abdul-Zahra](/source/Alaa_Abdul-Zahra) - 2009 – [Mahdi Karim](/source/Mahdi_Karim) - 2009 – [Salam Shakir](/source/Salam_Shakir) ## Performance in UAFA competitions - **[Arabian Gulf Club Champions Cup](/source/Persian_Gulf_Club_Champions_Cup): 3 appearances** - - [2008](/source/2008_Gulf_Club_Champions_Cup)**:** Group stage - [2010](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Gulf_Club_Champions_Cup)**:** Group stage - [2011](/source/2011_Gulf_Club_Champions_Cup)**:** Semi-finals - [2012](/source/2012_Gulf_Club_Champions_Cup)**:** Semi-finals ## Players *As of [Qatari Second Division](/source/Qatari_Second_Division):* Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under [FIFA eligibility rules](/source/FIFA_eligibility_rules); some limited exceptions apply.
