Beginnings and triumphs (1955–1989)

Al Nassr was established in 1955 by the Al-Ja’ba brothers. Training took place in an old playground at Gashlat Al-Shortah west of Al-Fotah Garden where there was a small football field and a small room to store balls and shirts. In addition to the Al-Ja'ba brothers, Ali and Al-Owais. Prince Abdul Rahman bin Saud Al Saud became the head of Al Nassr, he spent more than 39 years as the president for 3 stints till his death. His love of the team made him accept the challenge of being the president of a second division club and turning it to a champion and for that reason he is known as Al Nassr's Godfather. They were promoted to the first division in 1963. During the 1970s and 1980s, the club won four Saudi Premier League titles, six King's Cups, three Crown Prince Cups, and three Federation Cups. The team's success was built around the "Saudi Golden Trio" of Majed Abdullah, Fahd Al-Herafy and Mohaisn Al-Jam'aan.

The End of Abdul Majeed Era (1989–2000)

In the 1990s, Al Nassr managed to won two further Saudi Premier League titles in 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 season, 1990 King's Cup and 1997-1998 Federation Cup. Towards Majeed Abdullah end of career, he still don't able to lift the ultimate prize in UAFA region which is Arab Club Champions Cup while the other top clubs already succeed. Despite that, in the AFC Al Nassr managed triumph in the continental tournaments. 37 Years old striker Majeed Abdullah at the time manage to win two GCC Club Cups, one Asian Cup Winners' Cup and one Asian Super Cup. Majed Abdullah announced his retirement on 12 April 1998 following Al-Nassr's win in the 1998 Asian Cup Winner's Cup against Suwon Samsung Bluewings from South Korea in front of 70,000 fans in Riyadh. Majed retired at 39 years old as the all-time top scorer of the Saudi League with 189 goals and is also Al-Nassr's all-time top scorer with 260 goals. Record that is considered untouchable until the coming of Abderrazak Hamdallah

After becoming champion of Asian Super Cup, Al Nassr are elligible to represent AFC region in the first FIFA Club World Cup Brazil 2000. In that championship Al Nassr played against Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, Real Madrid and Raja Casablanca, and finished 3rd in the group. Al Nassr won the competition's Fair Play award.

Slow Decline (2001–2007)

After the Golden Trio's retirement, Al Nassr fresh squad at the time made impressive performance during the first run in FIFA Club World Cup. The Club then went on to sign some foreign talented player such as Young Forward from Ivory Coast Amadou Fadel Keita and former Barcelona Attacking Middlefielder Julio César Baldivieso.

Despite the expensive signing at the time, Al Nassr fail to keep their position in the league and soon got into some major setbacks. Things got worse as the next season went by. In 2006–07, the club only managed to avoid relegation in their last day of the season, which prompted honorary members including the Legendary Majed Abdullah to intervene for the club. Their plan are begin an effective long-term plan to restructurized new management.
