Al Nassr Football Club is a professional football team from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Its name, Al Nassr (Arabic: نادي النصر لكرة القدم, romanized: nādī al-naṣr li-kurat al-qadam, lit. 'Victory Football Club'), means "Victory Football Club" in Arabic. The club plays in the Saudi Pro League, which is the top football league in Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr is one of only three teams that have played in every season of the Saudi Pro League since it began.

Al Nassr is more than just a football club; it's a multi-sports club. It also has teams for handball, basketball, E-sports, and volleyball for both men and women of all ages. The club has won 28 official titles in different competitions. This includes winning the Saudi Pro League nine times, the Crown Prince's Cup three times, and the King's Cup six times.

In 1998, Al Nassr won two major Asian titles: the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. They also won the GCC Club Championship twice and the Arab Club Champions Cup once. Al Nassr has a big rivalry with their city rivals, Al-Hilal. Their matches are known as the Riyadh derby, which is the most watched derby in Saudi Arabia.

In January 2023, Al Nassr signed the famous football star Cristiano Ronaldo. This move changed Saudi Arabian football a lot. Ronaldo's arrival brought huge attention to the Saudi Pro League. It also encouraged many other top players from European leagues to join teams in Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr has also helped the Saudi national team succeed. For example, Majed Abdullah, the national team's all-time leading goal scorer, was an Al Nassr player and a legend who grew up in the club's youth system.

Club History

Early Years and Success (1955–1989)

Al Nassr was started in 1955 by the Al-Ja'ba brothers. They trained in an old playground. Prince Abdul Rahman bin Saud Al Saud became the club's president and led Al Nassr for over 39 years. He is known as Al-Nassr's Godfather because he took a second-division club and turned it into a champion.

The team moved up to the first division in 1963. In the 1970s and 1980s, Al Nassr won four Saudi Premier League titles, five King's Cups, two Crown Prince Cups, and one Federation Cup. This success was largely thanks to their "Saudi Golden Trio": Majed Abdullah, Fahd Al-Herafy, and Mohaisn Al-Jam'aan.

The End of an Era (1989–2000)

In the 1990s, Al Nassr won two more Saudi Premier League titles (1993-1994 and 1994–1995), the 1990 King's Cup, and the 1997-1998 Federation Cup. Towards the end of his career, Majed Abdullah helped the team win two GCC Club Cups, one Asian Cup Winners' Cup, and one Asian Super Cup. Majed Abdullah retired on April 12, 1998, after Al Nassr won the 1998 Asian Cup Winner's Cup. He retired as the all-time top scorer of the Saudi League with 189 goals and Al Nassr's all-time top scorer with 260 goals.

After winning the Asian Super Cup, Al Nassr got to represent Asia in the first ever FIFA Club World Cup in 2000. They played against big teams like Corinthians and Real Madrid. Al Nassr finished 3rd in their group and became the first Asian team to play in this international tournament. This is how they earned their nickname "The Global One (Al-Alami)". Al Nassr also won the FIFA Fair Play Award at the tournament.

A Period of Change (2001–2007)

After the "Golden Trio" retired, Al Nassr signed some international players like Fadel Keïta and Julio César Baldivieso. However, the club struggled to keep its top position in the league. In 2006–07, they almost got relegated (moved to a lower league). This led club legends like Majed Abdullah to step in and help restructure the team. This time was known as the "Great Setback" because Al Nassr lost its leading spot, and their rivals, Al-Hilal, started winning more derby matches.

Coming Back Strong (2008–2015)

Al Nassr fans at the King Fahd International Stadium in 2008, supporting the club even without recent trophies.

After many changes to the team, Al Nassr won the Federation Cup in 2008 against their city rivals, Al-Hilal. In 2009, they made a record-breaking transfer by signing young player Mohammad Al-Sahlawi for a large fee. In his first season, Al-Sahlawi scored 21 goals and won the Young Player of the Year award. This helped Al Nassr qualify for the Asian Champions League.

Bader Al-Mutawa's Impact

In the 2011 AFC Champions League, Al Nassr had some exciting matches. A loaned player named Bader Al-Mutawa from Kuwait scored important goals. He helped the team get a draw against Pakhtakor and a win against Esteghlal. Even though Al Nassr lost to Zob Ahan in the knockout stage, Bader Al-Mutawa scored 5 goals in the tournament, making him one of the top scorers.

Success in the 2010s

In the 2013–14 season, with new coach Jose Daniel Carreno, Al Nassr went on an amazing 22-game winning streak without losing. They almost won a treble (three major trophies in one season) by winning both the league and the Crown Prince Cup. This success earned them a spot in the 2015 AFC Champions League.

The Era of Three Strikers (2015–2022)

In the 2014–15 season, Al Nassr successfully defended their league title. However, they didn't win the King's Cup or the Crown Prince Cup. They also struggled in the 2015 AFC Champions League, getting knocked out in the group stage. Even with a new coach, René Higuita, they couldn't break through in the 2016 AFC Champions League.

In 2018, Al Nassr signed two talented Moroccan players: Abderrazek Hamdallah and Nordin Amrabat. Hamdallah, nicknamed "The Executioner," quickly became a key player. He broke the league's scoring record and helped Al Nassr qualify for the 2019 AFC Champions League. In 2019, Hamdallah scored 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League, becoming the top scorer. He even scored multiple hat-tricks (three goals in one game) and a super hat-trick (four goals). By the end of 2019, he was recognized as the world's top scorer by IFFHS, beating stars like Robert Lewandowski and Lionel Messi.

Al Nassr also won the 2019 Saudi Super Cup and the 2020 Saudi Super Cup. In the 2020 AFC Champions League, Hamdallah continued to score important goals, helping the team reach the semi-finals. Although they lost in a penalty shootout, Hamdallah won the Golden Boot for being the top scorer in the Asian Champions League.

Talisca's Key Role (2021–2022)

In 2021, Al Nassr signed new star players, including Talisca from Brazil and Vincent Aboubakar from Cameroon. Talisca quickly became a vital player, scoring many goals. He even scored his first hat-trick for the club and became the league's top scorer before Cristiano Ronaldo joined.

The Ronaldo Years (2023–present)

On December 30, 2022, Al Nassr signed Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world's most famous footballers. His contract is for two and a half years, and he earns a very high salary. Ronaldo's arrival instantly made Al Nassr famous worldwide, and their social media followers grew incredibly fast. Al Nassr finished second in the 2022–23 season.

Winning the Arab Club Champions Cup (2023)

The Arab Club Champions Cup is a competition for top clubs from the Arab world. In July 2023, Al Nassr played in this tournament. Ronaldo scored a goal in a 4–1 victory against US Monastir. In a crucial group stage match against Zamalek, Ronaldo scored a late goal to secure a 1–1 draw, helping Al Nassr advance.

Al Nassr then won their knockout games, with Ronaldo scoring in the semi-final. On August 12, 2023, Al Nassr played in the final against Al Hilal. Even though they were down 1–0 and had a player sent off, Cristiano Ronaldo scored to make it 1-1. He then scored again in extra time to win the cup 2–1! Ronaldo was the top scorer of the tournament with 6 goals.

Recent Seasons (2023-2024)

After Ronaldo joined, other European players like Otávio, Sadio Mané, Aymeric Laporte, and Marcelo Brozovic also joined Al Nassr. At the end of 2023, Al Nassr was second in the league, right behind Al Hilal. They also finished first in their AFC Champions League group.

In 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo was recognized by IFFHS as the world's top scorer for 2023 with 54 goals. Al Nassr was knocked out of the 2023-24 AFC Champions League in the quarter-finals. They also lost the King's Cup on penalties and were semi-finalists in the Saudi Super Cup. Despite finishing 2nd in the league with their highest-ever points total, fans were upset about not winning any domestic titles. Ronaldo won the Golden Boot for the Saudi Pro League, breaking the record for most goals in a single season. In September 2024, the club's manager, Luis Castro, was replaced by Stefano Pioli. Al Nassr also launched its own TV channel, "NASSR TV", which is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.

Club Identity

Al Nassr (Template:Arab world: النصر) means "victory." There are other clubs with the same name in different countries, but the Saudi Arabian club was the first to use it.

The club's logo shows a map of Arabia with yellow and blue colors. Yellow stands for the sand of the Arabian deserts, and blue represents the water of the Arab Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea around the Arabian Peninsula. The club recently updated its logo, but it still keeps the main ideas of the old one. The new logo focuses on the football team, while the old one represented the whole club.
