History

Early years (1916–1945)

Al Wehda traces its origins to 1916, when it was established as Al Mukhtalat Club in the Hejaz Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. The name Al Mukhtalat, meaning “inclusive” or “mixed,” reflected the club’s diverse composition, as it included both Saudi and non-Saudi players. In 1945, the club briefly adopted the name Al Hizb (The Party) before being renamed Al Wehda (Unity). The change was made to commemorate the unification of Saudi Arabia under King Ibn Saud during World War I.

Domestic success (1950s–1960s)

Al Wehda won the 1957–58 edition of His Majesty's League, the predecessor to the modern Saudi Pro League, becoming the inaugural champions of Saudi Arabia’s top-flight football league. In 1959–60, the club won the Crown Prince Cup. In 1966, it went on to win the King Cup, becoming the first team to lift the competition.
