History
Jalaa SC, previously known as Shabibeh, dominated the league from 1956 until 1978. Then another team from Aleppo, Al-Ittihad SC, took all the titles until 1993.
Later on, Damascus clubs Al Wahda and Al-Jaish SC managed to win some titles sporadically, yet they are far from the Aleppo dominant clubs.
