Kuwait SC has been also among the teams to represent Kuwait in international tournaments including the Arab Champions Cup.

Kuwait SC is a team based in Kuwait City. There are two other teams in the capital of Kuwait: Al Arabi SC, and Kazma SC, who are naturally the team's rivals. The 2000s were a new era of dominance for Kuwait SC alongside Qadsia, which is based in Hawalli. The dominance of both sides for almost 10 years winning all local tournaments between them has created an important rivalry between both teams.
