Damac Football Club is based in Khamis Mushait, a city in the Asir region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. The club takes its name from the nearby Damac Mountain, which gives it a distinctive local identity rooted in the geography of the region.
Damac's trophy record reflects a gradual climb through the Saudi football pyramid. The club claimed the Saudi Second Division League (tier three) twice, in 1980–81 and again in 2014–15, with the second title coming after what appeared to be a period of rebuilding. They were runners-up in that same division in 1989–90 and 2004–05, and also finished second in the Saudi Third Division in 2002–03. Their most significant push toward the top flight came with a runners-up finish in the Saudi First Division League — the second tier — in 2018–19, which secured their place among Saudi Arabia's elite clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
For home fixtures, Damac splits its schedule between two venues: the Al-Mahalah Stadium in the nearby city of Abha, used for higher-profile matches, and the Damac Club Stadium in Khamis Mushait for less prominent games. This dual-ground arrangement reflects both the club's ambitions and the regional football culture of the Asir area.
As a club that spent significant years working its way up through the lower divisions, Damac's identity is shaped by perseverance and regional pride rather than a long history at the top table of Saudi football. Their presence in the Saudi Pro League in the current decade represents the culmination of decades of gradual growth.
