History

It won the inaugural Football League in 2011–12, and was the first ever South Sudanese club to enter the 2012 Kagame Interclub Cup.[1] The team played its first match against Rwandan side Armee Patriotique Rwandaise F.C. however they suffered a heavy 7–0 defeat on their debut.[2]

The poor tournament for Wau Salaam continued with heavy defeats in their next two games (7–1 to Young Africans S.C.) and (5–0 to Atletico Olympic F.C.), but in the previous match Wau Salaam's Khamis Deshama Ulama made history by becoming the first ever South Sudanese footballer to score in an international football tournament. Wau Salaam got out at the first round.
