The club has an illustrious history with a total of eight Omani League titles to their name.

It took more than two decades - 23 years to be precise - for Fanja SC to regain the most coveted and prestigious football title in Oman, the Sultan Qaboos Cup.

Fanja defeated Al-Muharraq SC of Bahrain in a penalty shootout after the match had ended 1–1 in the normal time.

In this period Fanja spent an estimated amount of RO 120,000 annually for the football team.

During this period, and in the late eighties, Fanja had 15 players that represented the national team.

Only because of the financial crisis at the club, Fanja was unable to maintain its position as the best team in Oman.

It has since then remained at Premier League till today with winning spree.

Hamyar Al-Ismaily resigned in 2013 for health reasons and Seif Al-Sumri took charge, Fanja continued to win Championships till last season.
