Zakho Sport Club (Kurdish: یانا زاخو یا وه‌رزشی‎‎ / Yana Zaxo ya Werzişî) is a sports club based in Zakho, Dohuk, Iraq. Zakho SC's biggest rivals are also their neighbours Duhok SC, always producing the most passionate and fierce matches every season, with whom they contest the Duhok Derby. Football in Zakho was played unofficially from the early 1920s with many local amateur games as well as school competitions regularly being held in Zakho or nearby districts. This eventually led to the formation of the first ever football team in Zakho in 1948. This was made up of local workers and young men.
