The club was founded in 1932 in the city of Nablus. Its activity was interrupted for long periods due to the conditions that prevailed in Mandatory Palestine during the British Mandate. Activity was renewed in 1962[citation needed] when the founding body of the Al-Ittihad Sports Club held a first session in Nablus.[citation needed] A preparatory committee was elected and a new administrative body was elected on 15 July 1967.[citation needed]
