The new home of AlNassr FC
At the heart of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the sons of Mutlaq Al Jaba'a, Zaid and Hussain, along with their friends established AlNassr FC. The beginning was on Monday 24th, October 1955. The ambitious and vigorous youth chose the name AlNassr "Victory" because of the many meanings of joy, victory, and success that it carries. They wanted it to be the ambition of every successful individual. They chose the colors blue and yellow because of the symbolism of the sands of the Arabian Peninsula and its surrounding sea. They put an emblem of the Arabian Peninsula on their chests as a sign of their faith and pride in our great country, from which AlNassr “Victory” shines as the “Knight of Najd” that have since rode on to achieve many accolades.
