History

In 1946, Al-Sahel Club was the first officially licensed club in Lattakia, and it was necessary to have another club in order to enhance the spirit of competition and advance the level of sport in Lattakia.

In 1947, the Al-Jalaa Club was founded. The first headquarters taken for this club after its birth was behind Jules Jamal School, currently in the house of Al-Mara'ash, and the first administrative body formed was as follows:

Office Name
President of the Board Salah El-Din Gharib
Secretary Abdel-Wahhab Issa
Manager Abdullah Issa
Treasurer Hamza Issa
Foreign Relations Mohamed Zidan
Member of the Board Hamza Haddad

And the team consisted of: Abdullah Issa, Abdel Wahab Issa, Hamza Issa, Mohamed Odeima, Khaled Kordaghli, Kamal Gharib, Mohamed Ghazal, Youssef Abdel, Othman Tarifi, Mohamed Ten, Mohamed Shaar, Abdullah Abd, Musa Homaisi, a goalkeeper. And very quickly. The club made a leap to stardom and championship.

Merging of sports clubs in Latakia

1- The previous clubs (Al-Jalaa + Al-Hurriya + Al-Liwaa) merged under the name Al-Qadisiyah Syrian Club in 1971.

2- The previous clubs (Latakia + Al Arabi + Al Wathba) merged under the name of the Syrian Al-Nahda Club in 1971.

3- Al-Nahda and Al-Qadisiyah clubs merged into Tishreen Club in 1977.

Thus, we consider that Tishreen Club was founded with the establishment of its oldest club, Al-Jalaa Club. The first match that the club played after its founding against the Syrian Naval Forces team and won (3-1).

The first foreign match the team played in Tripoli with its champion and the match ended in a draw (2 - 2). The two goals of the match were scored by Abdul Wahab Issa.

1982 season

King Abouda (Abdul Kader Kardaghli): “The Tishreen team at the time in 1982 was one of the strongest teams in Syria and was prepared to maintain the league championship for several years, but the team was dispersed after the decision to rebuild the municipal stadium (currently Al-Basil) and the maintenance work in it, which lasted three or four Years, during which we played in Tartous and Jableh, and despite that, we remained one of the teams competing for the championship and finished in the top three, before the players started leaving the club, such as Al-Najjar and Al-Badi to Jableh and Al-Qudamati to travel.

When we were playing in the past, we did not think about money, and all our thoughts were limited to how to make people happy with our performance and results. The joy that we saw in people’s eyes is priceless, and I remember one time that in the national team we returned from Jordan to Damascus and people were cheering for us (and throwing rice at us). I wish they would only think about these things, for making people happy is worth billions, but it needs a conscience".
