History

Recent years

Having gained promotion to the Premier League in 2005–06, they managed to stay up in their first season, achieving a respectable 7th-place finish. They finished 5th in 2007–08, and manager Abdulhafeedh Arbeesh managed to guide the club to their first pieces of silverware, the Libyan League Cup and the Libyan Cup, after a 1–0 win over Madina.

They therefore gained qualification to the 2009 CAF Confederation Cup. After a 6–0 aggregate win over Tanzanian side Prisons FC in the first round, they were handed a tricky draw against Algerian giants ES Sétif. Having been narrowly defeated 1–0 in the home leg, they were crushed 5–0 in Sétif, as they bowed out to the eventual finalists. In the 2008 North African Cup Winners Cup, they were defeated 4–0 on aggregate by Moroccan side Maghreb Fez.

Despite another top half finish in 2008–09, Arbeesh left to join Hilal, and Tunisian Tariq Thabit joined from Wefaq Sabratha. New signings Hussein al Idrissy, Tariq al Aqrabi, Mehdi ben Nsira and Maher Nayili led the side to a top three finish in 2009–10, and Thabit's contract was renewed for a second year.
