History
editShortly after the club was promoted to the Omani League, top division of Oman Football Association, the club officials decided to rename the club to "Salalah" in order to give it a more distinct name, rather than being named Al-Hilal, a name which is used by many clubs throughout the Middle East and in 2010 the name was officially changed to Salalah SC. The club's crest was revealed days before the start of the 2010–11 season.
Being a multisport club
editAlthough being mainly known for their football, Salalah SC like many other clubs in Oman, have not only football in their list, but also hockey, volleyball, handball, basketball, badminton and squash. They also have a youth football team competing in the Omani Youth league.
Colors, kit providers and sponsors
editSalalah SC have been known since establishment to wear a full blue kit (usually a lighter shade of blue), varying themselves from neighbors Al-Ittihad (Green), Al-Nasr S.C.S.C. (Blue) and Dhofar S.C.S.C. (Red) kits. They have also had many different sponsors over the years. As of now, Uhlsport provides them with kits.
