Al-Yarmouk SC (Syria)

With the arrival of the Armenian refugees and survivors of the Armenian genocide, Aleppo became an active cultural and educational centre for the Armenian community of Syria. Armenians have founded many cultural, scouting and sport organizations in the city.{{Cite web |url=https://www.massis.org/homenetmen-history/|website=massis.org|title= Homenetmen-history|access-date=24 January 2022}} The young generation was mainly interested in football and athletics. The Armenian organizations formed their own football teams to compete with each other within the community.{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/syrfound.html|publisher=RSSF|title=Syria foundation dates|access-date=24 January 2022}}

Prior to the foundation of the Syrian official football league, the club have competed in various regional competitions in the Aleppo Governorate such as the regional league of Aleppo and the Aleppo Municipality Shield ({{langx|ar|درع بلدية حلب}}).

They have played in the Syrian Premier League starting from the first ever season in 1966–1967 until 1982–1983 when they were relegated to the 2nd division. Since then, the team failed to return to the top level.

During 2011–2012 season, the club came 5th in the Syrian 2nd Division; 4th Regional Group, thus maintaining their place in the current level (second highest in Syria) for the next season.{{Cite web |url=https://m.goalzz.com/?c=6288|publisher=goalzz.com|title=Al-Yarmouk SC|access-date=24 January 2022}}{{Cite web |url=https://m.goalzz.com/main.aspx?c=16476|publisher=goalzz.com|title=Syrian League 2nd Division 2018/19|access-date=24 September 2022}}
