The early beginnings of al-Jeel Sports Club date back to 1975, when there were two teams: the first named al-Ittihad al-Sharqi Club (which had preliminary recognition) and the second named al-Okhowa Club (which was preparing to obtain preliminary recognition from the General Presidency of Youth Welfare, now the Ministry of Sport). In that year, it was decided to merge the two clubs into one under the name al-Ittihad al-Sharqi. However, the General Presidency of Youth Welfare later changed the name to al-Jeel Club.
