The club was established to represent the Central Region of the Emirate of Sharjah and became one of the country's multi-sports institutions. Since its foundation, Al Dhaid has mainly competed in the UAE First Division League and has regularly participated in the UAE President's Cup. Throughout its history, the club has maintained a strong emphasis on youth development and community engagement.
