Ittihd

Ittihd, officially known as Ittihd Sports Club, is a professional football club based in the city of Homs in Syria. The club was founded in 1953 by a group of local athletes and community leaders who sought to promote sports and youth development in the region. In its early years, Ittihd competed in regional amateur leagues, steadily building a reputation for nurturing local talent and fostering a strong community following.

The club entered the Syrian Premier League for the first time in 1969, marking its transition into the national professional arena. Through the 1970s and 1980s, Ittihd maintained a mid-table presence, balancing competitive play with a developmental focus. In the early 2000s, the club invested in modern training facilities and youth academies, producing several players who went on to represent the national team. Ittihd’s most notable league achievement came in the 2005–06 season when it finished third in the standings, securing a spot in the AFC Cup qualifiers.

Today, Ittihd Stadium, with a capacity of approximately 12,000, hosts both home fixtures and community sporting events. The club operates a number of youth teams across age categories and participates in various local tournaments. While Ittihd has not yet secured a major national title, its consistent contribution to player development and community engagement remains a central part of its identity.
