History of Al-Nassr
Founding and Early Years
Al-Nassr was founded on 24 October 1955 by the Al-Ja'ba brothers, who first organized training on an old vacant lot in Riyadh, before the club was promoted to Saudi Arabia's first division in 1963.
Club Evolution
Nicknamed "Al-Alami" (The Global One), the club wears yellow and blue, its crest featuring a stylized map of the Arabian Peninsula. They have played at Al-Awwal Park since 2020, after long being based at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.
Great Managers
Francisco Maturana left his mark on the club's history with a league title, as did José Daniel Carreño in 2013-14. Jorge Jesus (2023-2026) brought the domestic title back in 2025-26, ending a seven-year drought, before making way for Ange Postecoglou, appointed in July 2026.
Iconic Players
Majed Abdullah (1977-1998), the club's all-time top scorer with 259 goals across all competitions, remains a legend of Saudi football, alongside Mohammad Al-Sahlawi (2009-2019, 131 goals). Since December 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo has worn the club's colors, greatly raising its global profile.
Major Achievements
Al-Nassr have won 11 Saudi league titles, most recently in 2025-26, along with 5 King's Cups and the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, but have yet to win the AFC Champions League.
The Club Today
Coached by Ange Postecoglou since July 2026, Al-Nassr are going through a transitional period at chairman level, left vacant after Abdullah Al-Majed's departure, while Cristiano Ronaldo remains the club's leading international showcase.
