Yarmouk

Al-Yarmouk is a Kuwaiti professional sports club located in the district of Mishref. It was established on 28 February 1965 in Failaka Island and was the only Kuwaiti club established outside mainland Kuwait at that time. The club was relocated to Kuwait after the 1990–1991 Gulf War, which resulted in the displacement of many inhabitants belonging to Failaka's island settlements. Therefore, due to inadequate facilities after the liberation of Kuwait, it was inevitable that the team had to move to a better and more sustainable location. Other reason for the relocation was due to insufficient means of transportation to Failaka Island for away matches during the regular season.

Al Yarmouk is mostly famous for its football team, which gave rise to Kuwaiti players during the course of its history. The club has only achieved 4 trophies since it was first established, 2 of which were the Prince Cups in 1970 and 1973. The other 2 trophy achievements were the Second Division titles won in 1968 and 1989.

Al Yarmouk sports club went through a renovation project since 2006, as part of a scheme to regenerate interest within the local Mishref community. A new stadium was built, together with swimming facilities and an indoor arena for basketball, handball, volleyball, futsal and table tennis. A track and field team is also widely financed from the club's department.

The club's main two colors are navy blue and white, representing the sea, which was a part of Failaka Island's culture. The logo represents ancient Greek ruins located in Failaka Island, also known as 'Ikaros' during the times of Alexander the Great.

The club is not as popular as Kuwait's big five elite (Kuwait SC, Al-Arabi SC, Qadsia SC, Kazma SC and Salmiya SC), however, it is usually supported primarily by people in the surrounding area of the club's location. Prior to the Gulf War, it was supported by the local inhabitants of Failaka Island. After relocation, it shifted away from Failaka's fanbase and is now attracting fans mostly from the Mishref residential area.
