History

Founded in 2023, the club replaced Jeddah Pride's Academy and signed most of its players, joining the Saudi Women's First Division League, the second tier of Saudi women's football. They were placed in the west group alongside Najmt Jeddah, Al-Nors, Saham, and NEOM FC.[1] The team topped the group with seven wins out of eight, qualifying for the final stages. Despite their strong performance, they lost one match and drew another, failing to secure promotion to the Premier League and remaining in the First Division.[2][3]

The club competed in the inaugural edition of the SAFF Women's Cup, where they were defeated 8–0 by finalist Al-Shabab in the round of 16.[4][5]
