Umm Salal Sport Club (

Arabic: نادي أم صلال الرياضي) is a Qatari professional football club based in Umm Salal, that competes in the Qatar Stars League, the highest tier of Qatari football. Previously called Al-Tadamun Sport Club, Umm Salal is best known for being the first Qatari club that made it to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League
.

History

Umm Salal were formed in 1979 under the name Al-Tadamun Club and entered into the

Qatari 2nd Division
in their second season after reformation, in addition to lifting the league trophy two more times in 2000 and 2006.

In 2004, the club's name, Al Tadamun Club, was changed to "Umm Salal" by decision of the Qatar Olympic Committee.

They won promotion to the

AFC Champions League 2009
after defeating Al Gharafa 4–1 on penalties in the Emir Cup final. They were knocked out of the ACL in the semi-finals, which was the furthest any Qatari club had ever advanced at that time.

The team's nickname, Barzan's Falcons, is a reference to the

Barzan Tower, which the Umm Salal Mohammed Fort houses. The tower became renowned for being used during Ramadan to ensure the holy month was observed at the correct time.[3]

Stadium

Built in 1996 in Umm Salal Ali, the Umm Salal Stadium covers 34,500 m2 and features two football pitches, locker rooms and an administrative office.[4] However, due to its insufficient capacity and facilities, the club uses Thani bin Jassim Stadium as its homegrounds.[1]
