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.
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]
