Al Khor Sports Club was established in 1961 under the name Al Taawun Sports Club, making it one of the oldest clubs in the history of Qatar football. Since its establishment, the club has placed football at the heart of its sporting activities while also contributing to a range of recreational, cultural and social programmes.

The club was officially registered and recognised under Resolution No. 13, issued on June 10, 1964. Following its registration, Al Taawun joined other Qatari clubs in official competitions and activities organised by the country’s various sports federations while also taking part in cultural and social initiatives.

A significant chapter in the club’s history came in 2002 when its name was changed from Al Taawun Sports Club to Al Khor Sports Club. The change followed a resolution adopted by the club’s Ordinary General Assembly and a subsequent decision by the President of Qatar Olympic Committee.

With more than six decades of history, Al Khor Sports Club has maintained an important presence in Qatar’s sporting landscape. The club continues to focus on developing its teams and athletes, strengthening its competitiveness and pursuing success across various domestic championships.

Its long-standing history and contribution to Qatar sports have established Al Khor as a club with a distinctive place in the country’s football and sporting heritage.
