Al Sahel Sporting Club () is a Kuwaiti professional football club based in Abu Halifa in Al Ahmadi Governorate. Sahel were the runners-up in the 1999 Kuwait Emir Cup.
Al-Sahel Sporting Club was founded in 1967 in Abu Halifa, located in the Al Ahmadi Governorate of Kuwait. The club was initially established as a cultural and social organization before transitioning into a sports club in the early 1970s, with football becoming its main activity.
In its early years, Al-Sahel primarily competed in the lower divisions of Kuwaiti football. Following league restructures in the late 1970s, the club briefly participated in the top tier, but spent much of its history moving between the Kuwaiti Premier League and Kuwaiti Division One.
One of the clubâÂÂs most notable achievements came during the 1998âÂÂ99 season, when Al-Sahel reached the final of the Kuwait Emir Cup, finishing as runners-up after losing 2âÂÂ1 to Al-Arabi.
The club achieved success in the second tier by winning the Kuwaiti Division One title in the 2000âÂÂ01 and 2009âÂÂ10 seasons, earning promotion to the Kuwaiti Premier League on both occasions.
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Al-Sahel continued to alternate between divisions due to relegations and promotions, reflecting its status as a competitive but mid-level club in Kuwaiti football. The team has remained active in national competitions, occasionally returning to the top division and maintaining a presence in KuwaitâÂÂs football structure.
Al-Sahel SCâÂÂs main rivalries are with neighboring clubs such as Al-Arabi SC and Al-Yarmouk SC, often resulting in highly competitive matches in both the Kuwaiti Premier League and Division One.
Al-Sahel SC plays its home matches at Abu Halifa City Stadium, located in Abu Halifa, Kuwait. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 2,000 spectators.
