[citation needed] Al Yarmouk is mostly famous for its football team, which gave rise to Kuwaiti players during the course of its history.

[citation needed] Al Yarmouk sports club went through a renovation project since 2006, as part of a scheme to regenerate interest within the local Mishref community.

[citation needed] The club's main two colors are navy blue and white, representing the sea, which was a part of Failaka Island's culture.

The reason why this name was chosen is that Al Yarmouk holds various Greek ruins, which reminded the local people of the Byzantine Empire and how strongly it influenced Northern Arabia before Islamic times.

The club badge represents a reminder of Failaka's history as Ikarus, the name given to it by the ancient Macedonians during Alexander the Great's reign over this region, and his establishments in the island which is reflected today by the appearance of many old Greek ruins.
