Al-Hmmah Sport Club (Arabic: نادي الهمة الرياضي) is a professional women's football club based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The club currently competes in the Saudi Women's First Division League, the second tier of women's football in Saudi Arabia.
History
[edit]Founded in 2019 as Raiders Football Club, the team participated in Riyadh's first women's community football league in 2020.[1]
On 7 November 2021, the club rebranded to Al-Hmmah Football Club and competed in the inaugural SAFF Women's National Football Championship, the kingdom's first official women's competition.[2] During the initial phase, the team was placed in the Central Province regional league. Out of six teams, Al-Hmmah finished last, securing only one win out of ten matches.[3][4]
Following the establishment of the Saudi Women's First Division League in 2022, the club was placed into the first division based on the results of the 2021–22 national championship.[5] Al-Hmmah, along with 16 other teams were divided into five groups based on geographical location.[6] Finishing second in Group 4, the team advanced to the quarter-finals but was eliminated by Al-Mutahed.[7]
Al-Hmmah participated in the inaugural SAFF Women's Cup in 2023 but was eliminated in the round of 16 after a 0–5 loss in their only match.[8]
In the 2023–24 season, Al-Hmmah had a perfect start, winning all 10 matches in the first phase without a single loss, which qualified them for the final rounds. However, with one win and one loss in the final round, the team failed to reach the semi-finals, resulting in their retention in the first division.[9]
