history

Five years after the first edition of the Sultan Qaboos Cup , the soccer competition was held unofficially for the first time in 1975/76 and has been Oman's official championship since 1976. In the first two seasons of the then new championship Fanja SC won the title (the first 1975/76 is not counted in the statistics as unofficial). Until the end of the 1980s, the championship was held under the name Super League . Telecommunications company Omantel has been the league's main sponsor since the 2008/09 season .
