Lore & Background

Al Nassr was established in 1955 by the Al-Ja'ba brothers. Prince Abdul Rahman bin Saud Al Saud became the head of Al Nassr, spending more than 39 years as president for three stints until his death. He is known as Al-Nassr's Godfather. The club was promoted to the first division in 1963. During the 1970s and 1980s, the club won one Categorization League and three Saudi Premier League titles, five King's Cups, two Crown Prince's Cups, and one Federation Cup. The team's success was built around the 'Saudi Golden Trio' of Majed Abdullah, Fahd Al-Bishi and Mohaisen Al-Jam'an. Al Nassr won the Saudi Premier League in 1993–1994 and 1994–1995, and later won the Saudi Pro League in 2013–14 and 2014–15, and again in 2018–19.
