History

The beginning of the Football Journey

after the inception of the Saudi Women's Premier League and the development of Women's sport in Saudi Arabia, Al-Riyadh SC created their own women's team in 2022, The team subsequently took part in the inaugural Saudi Women's First Division League, securing victory by topping the Capital Riyadh group stage without conceding a single goal. The team continued its success, winning both the quarter-final and semi-final matches, ultimately reaching the final. In the final, they emerged triumphant against Al Mutahed, winning 2–1 on penalties after a 1–1 draw at full time.[2]

After securing promotion to the Premier League, the club enlisted a Spanish staff to guide the first division towards success in the top tier. Specifically, Ana Junyent was appointed as the senior team coach, and María Coisada took on the role of goalkeeping coach. Additionally, three Spanish players were swiftly signed, including Míriam Diéguez, Carla Gómez Torres, and Aroa León Gómez.[3]
