History
Diriyah Football Club was established by Saad Al-Rashed and Abdul Rahman bin Suraie. The club's first president was Abdullah Al-Jadaie. [4]
In July 2021, Dr. Khalid Al-Habshan was elected as club president by the general assembly. [5]
On July 12, 2024, the Ministry of Sport officially transferred ownership of Diriyah Club to Diriyah Company — a firm fully owned by the Public Investment Fund. This move was part of the Kingdom's broader Saudi Vision 2030 initiative to privatize and professionalize sports clubs across the Kingdom. Following the acquisition, a new board of directors was appointed, chaired by Prince Khalid bin Mohammed. [6]
On September 8, 2025, The Club announced a new identity, unveiling a redesigned logo and changing its traditional maroon color to a unique "Diriyah Tan" inspired by the historic mudbrick hues of the At-Turaif District. This rebranding reflects the club’s connection to its cultural heritage and its vision for a modern future. [7]
