The club was founded in 1972, and played in the lower divisions of Israeli football. In the 2010–11 season the club won Liga Alef North division, and was promoted to Liga Leumit, the second tier of Israeli football, where they played three seasons.

In the 2013–14 season, the club was relegated to Liga Alef after finished bottom of Liga Leumit, and set negative record of being the first club in the history of professional football in Israel, which have finished a season with a negative number of points (−4, after 5 points deducted), and without any win, drawing one game, and losing all the other 36 games.

The 2014–15 season was similarly poor, as the club dropped further to Liga Bet, after finished the season with 0 points, following a deduction of 1 point for fielding ineligible player, and completed a second successive season without win, drawing one game, and losing all the other 29 games.

In the middle of the 2016/2017 season, Israel Football Association ruled that the team would be relegated to Liga Gimel at the end of the season, according to a FIFA ruling due to non-payment of a debt to one of its foreign players who played for it during the time the team played in the Liga Leumit.

In 2020 the club folded and re-founded as "Tzeirei Umm al-Fahm" in Liga Gimel Jezreel.
