AlUla Club

AlUla Club is one of the sport clubs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It plays in the First Division League (Yelo League). The club is based in AlUla Governorate in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah Province. It was founded in 1978 and is nicknamed the “Arab Tigers.”

In 1978, a match was held in AlUla Governorate, attended by the governor of Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah at the time, Prince Abdulmohsen Bin Abdulaziz. His presence crowned the individual efforts devoted to sport and social activities in the region. Following the match, leaders from both teams spontaneously called for the establishment of a sport club in AlUla Governorate. Collective efforts succeeded, and the club was officially registered with the General Presidency of Youth Welfare (currently the Ministry of Sport) three years later, in 1981. AlUla Club was initially registered under the name Wadi Al-Qura in its first records with the presidency. This was because the Mada'in and AlUla clubs, when they agreed to merge their teams, decided that the new club’s name should differ from the two names already symbolizing the governorate. They chose instead a third name, known as one of the most famous valleys in the governorate: Wadi Al-Qura. Wadi Al-Qura. A few years later, the club returned to its current name, AlUla Sport Club.

AlUla Club offers seventeen different sport in addition to its primary game, football. Among the most notable are futsal, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, athletics, darts, cycling, and electronic sport.

The club’s management approved the establishment of an independent department dedicated to women’s sport. In its first season, this department successfully launched several sports, including football, basketball, taekwondo, judo, and volleyball.

The club operates two academies for talent development:

This academy focuses on nurturing and training young football talents from AlUla Governorate, aiming to invest in and develop youth categories.

This academy is dedicated to scouting and investing in young talents, providing the necessary support to help them achieve their football aspirations.

On March 8, 2024, AlUla Club’s first football team was promoted for the first time in its history to the Second Division after topping its group in the Third Division League. On March 15, 2025, the club achieved another milestone by being promoted to the Saudi First Division League (Yelo League) for the first time in its history, after finishing as runner-up in the Second Division.

AlUla Club participates in community events by organizing Ramadan tournaments, social visits, and school programs. It also provides sport opportunities across AlUla Governorate through four sport complexes, geographically distributed to serve all neighborhoods. These are known as “community stadiums,” established as part of AlUla’s Sport Strategy to support the people of AlUla and enhance community participation in sport. Around three hundred beneficiaries are engaged under the supervision of ten technically and administratively qualified members from AlUla. These community stadiums host various training programs and activities.
