Diriyah Club is a Saudi Arabian professional football based in Diriyah, in Riyadh Province of Saudi Arabia. that competes in the Saudi Pro League.^[1]^[2]

History

Diriyah Football Club was established by Saad Al-Rashed and Abdul Rahman bin Suraie. The club's first president was Abdullah Al-Jadaie.^[3]

In July 2021, Dr. Khalid Al-Habshan was elected as club president by the general assembly.^[4]

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.^[5]

On September 8, 2025, the club announced a new identity, unveiling a redesigned logo and changing its traditional maroon color to a shade called "Diriyah Tan," inspired by the historic mudbrick architecture of the At-Turaif District. As part of the rebranding, the club also dropped the "Al" from its name, changing from Al-Diriyah Club to Diriyah Club. The changes were made to reflect the club's cultural roots and present a more modern image.^[6]
