History
The club was founded as al-Ahd al-Jadid (Arabic: العهد الجديد) in 1923 by Armenian refugees and survivors of the Armenian genocide.[4]
Two minor sport clubs -Istiqlal (Arabic: الاستقلال) and al-Mish'al (Arabic: المشعل)- were also founded by the Armenians of Aleppo in 1930 and 1931 respectively.[4] Al-Ahd al-Jadid and Istiqlal were specialized in football while al-Mish'al was a basketball club. Finally in 1971, the three clubs were merged into one sports organization to form the Ouroube Sports Club.[4]
Ouroube have qualified for the final match of the first ever Syrian Cup competition played during the 1959–1960 season. However, the match which was scheduled against the al-Jaish Club was never played.[citation needed]
