Ouroube Sports Club (Armenian: Ուրուբե) is a Syrian sports club based in Aleppo, best known for their football team and basketball teams (men and women).[1] [2] Founded in 1923, Ouroube is the oldest sports organization in Syria.[3] The club is part of the Antranik Youth Association, which is a sports program of the AGBU organization. In general, 5 types of sports are being practiced by the club.
The club was founded as al-Ahd al-Jadid in 1923 by Armenian refugees and survivors of the Armenian genocide.[4]
Two minor sport clubs -Istiqlal and al-Mish'al - 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.
