History
The club was founded as al-Ahd al-Jadid ({{Langx|ar|العهد الجديد}}) in 1923 by Armenian refugees and survivors of the Armenian genocide.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/syrfound.html|publisher=RSSF|title=Syria foundation dates|access-date=24 January 2022}}
Two minor sport clubs -Istiqlal ({{Langx|ar|الاستقلال}}) and al-Mish'al ({{Langx|ar|المشعل}})- were also founded by the Armenians of Aleppo in 1930 and 1931 respectively. 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.
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|date=December 2023}}
