The club won two Libyan Premier League titles in a successful period in the late 1990s.

Al Mahallah won the league title again, and thus secured qualification to the 2000 CAF Cup, where they met the Egyptian club and eventual runners-up Ismaily.

Ismaily ran out 5–1 victors at the Ismailia Stadium, but Al Mahallah salvaged pride in the second leg, as they won 3–2.

The club has even relegated to the Libyan Third Division and has only recently returned to the second tier.

They have made a great start to this season's competition, winning five of their first 6 matches.
