[1] The club's first board consisted of president Ashur Nicola Kalaita, vice-president Wilson Pera Binyamin, club secretary Binyamin Yousef Gandalo, Wasil Elisha Nimrod treasurer and Youel Baba Gorgis, a dentist as the sports secretary.

[1] During the 1950s, the club began to earn a reputation for producing young footballing talent such as Khoshaba Lawo, who was spotted by national coach Ismail Mohammed and later transferred him to one of the best teams in Iraq at the time Al-Maslaha and in 1957.

[1] At the age of 24, Ammo was already an international and a regular in the Iraqi national team and had years of playing experience having represented the RAF Employees' (Assyrian) Club and C.C.

The Assyrian football team's greatest achievement was to win the 1960 Iraq Central FA Premier League (then called the Iraq Central FA First Division Cup) by beating Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya a team which included the likes of Hamid Fawzi, Jalil Shihab and fellow Assyrians Youra Eshaya and Edison Eshay by an emphatic 3–0 scoreline.

The most memorable was against the Iranian Taj Club of Tehran, who had previously played in Baghdad in 1955 against Al-Haras Al-Malaki and lost 2–0 to goals from Ammo Baba.

Non-Assyrian players such as goalkeepers Hamid Fawzi, Mohammed Thamir, Hamza Qasim, Ahsan Bahaya and Latif Shanadel, defender Jalil Shihab and right winger Abbas Hamadi guested for the Assyrian club in these international matches.

The team included the top Assyrian players of the era such as Ammo Baba of Al-Haras Al-Malaki, the trio goalkeeper Isaac Yacoub Isaac, Youwaresh Isaac and captain Aram Karam of Kirkuk-based Sharakat Naft Al-Iraq, the Al-Maslaha players Youel Gorgis, Hormis Goriel and the Shimshon Shallou brothers Sargis and William and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya teammates Edison Eshay, Youra Eshaya and Ammo Simsim.

The Assyrian side took an early lead in the first half through Ammo Baba against Shahin FC but the match was abandoned due to several refereeing decisions that players objected to.

The request for the name change had been signed by the son of the Iraqi president Qusay Saddam Hussein, then the head of the Office for Clubs.
