History
In 1939, a group of students from Tyre, Lebanon, established a football team, which officially received its license in 1947.[3] Due to the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight, a number of Palestinian players joined Tadamon Sour.[3] The team played numerous games in Syria and Jordan, and hosted Egyptian club Al Ahly in Tyre.[3]
In 1991 Tadamon Sour finished runners-up in the Lebanese Second Division, and were promoted to the Lebanese Premier League.[3] In 2000–01 they won the Lebanese FA Cup, beating Ansar 2–1 in the final.[4]
Club rivalries
Tadamon Sour plays Salam Sour in the Tyre derby. The club also plays the South derby with Ghazieh, based on their location.[5]
