NEOM Sports Club traces its origins to 1965, when it was founded as Al-Suqoor Club — meaning "Falcons" in Arabic — in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia. For the better part of its first five decades, the club competed in the lower tiers of Saudi football, becoming a familiar name in the Third and Second Division circuits rather than the national spotlight.
A turning point arrived in the 2010s. Al-Suqoor earned promotion to the Saudi First Division (the second tier) for the first time in 2011, though they were relegated after a single season. The club continued building, and during the 2021–22 season claimed the Saudi Third Division title, signalling renewed ambition.
The most transformative chapter began in 2023, when the Saudi Ministry of Sport announced that Al-Suqoor would be converted into a company and transferred to the ownership of NEOM — the headline giga-project urban development being constructed in Tabuk Province. On 24 December 2023, the club was officially renamed Neom Sports Club, adopting white and blue kits in place of the traditional black and gold of the Al-Suqoor era.
Under the NEOM banner, the club's ascent was rapid. They won the Saudi Second Division in 2023–24 and followed it immediately with the Saudi First Division title in 2024–25, securing promotion to the Saudi Pro League — the top flight — for the first time in their history. Their identity is now inseparable from the broader NEOM project, representing a club deliberately built to compete at the highest level of Saudi and, in time, regional football.
