Fanja Sports Club (Arabic: نادي فنجاء الرياضي) is an Omani football club currently playing in the second division of the Oman Football Association. Fanja finished the 2010 season in the second division with third place—just short of qualifying for first division of the Omani League.
It has an illustrious history, with seven Omani League championship titles (1976–77, 1978–79, 1983–84, 1985–88, 1990–91), the second-highest number in Omani history. The club's best years were in the 1970s and the 1980s, but the death of club owner HRH Sayyid Sami adversely affected the club, and for nearly the last 20 years, Fanja have failed to receive one trophy. Their last achievements were in 1991 when they had won the Omani League and the Sultan Qaboos Cup.
They are considered one of Oman's best football clubs along with Dhofar.
