Our name is a promise. We play to be seen from every corner of Al-Qassim.
A city club with a Kingdom-wide heartbeat. The derby with Al-Arabi is family, fire and history.
From the academy pitch to the first team. The crest is earned, never borrowed.
The Stadium
Unaizah · Al-Qassim · 1985 · 3,000 · Natural grass
A multi-use ground opened in 1985. Three thousand seats, natural grass, and a Qassim night when the lights come on.

The city splits for ninety minutes. Neighbours, colleagues and cousins choose green-and-black or the other side of Unaizah — and meet again after the whistle.
