Al-Khor was established in 1951 by oil workers to fulfill them with the appropriate facility to invest their energy after their participation with the multinational oil companies at the time. The club was re-established in 1961 and adopted football as its primary sport, as well other recreational sports and activities; however the club was limited in its resources. The club coincided within the presence of two other clubs in Al-Khor, with the three operating separately from each other. They merged to form Al-Khor Sports Club between 1962 and 1964, and had formally made a request to join the Qatar Football Association on June 10, 1964 (Resolution no.13).
Embracing the youth movement, they drew up plans and programs and being provided funds for all the facilities, the club was able to expand the base of participation in most sports as well as participate in various activities.[1]
Al-Khor's original club colors from 1961 were primarily yellow and white. The colors were changed to blue and white after entering the football league in 1964.
