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.
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]
