Founded in 2019 as Sport Support, they competed in the first season of the newly-formed Emirati third tier football league. They beat Al Hazem 2–1 in their first ever competitive match.[2] Despite their good start, they would finish eighth in the league.
In 2020, the club renamed itself Baynounah.[3] They won the Hamdan bin Zayed championship after beating Al Hamra in the semifinal and Bu Hasa in the final by penalty kicks; this victory would help boost the clubs profile and garner a significant support in the Al Dhafra region.[4][5][6]
