Club Establishment:

The Saudi Al-Kawkab Club, established in 1967 and often referred to as the "Knight of Al-Kharj," has a rich history in Saudi Arabian football. During the 1980s, it was a prominent member of the Saudi Premier League. The club's matches are held at the Al-Shula Club Stadium in Al-Kharj, where it shares the venue with its rivals from Al-Shula City. The club's name has undergone several changes over the years. Originally known as "Al-Kifah Club," it later became "Al-Wahda Club" before finally adopting its current name, "Al-Kawkab Club." Initially headquartered in the Salmaniya neighborhood, the club later relocated to the old Civil Defense headquarters. In 1401 H (Hijri calendar), the club received a plot of land in the Khalidiya neighborhood of Sayhat, which was developed to include various sports facilities. This move to a new headquarters became official in 1988 AD. The club's roots can be traced back to 1964 when it began its activities in the city of Sayhat, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Al-Kharj Governorate. Throughout its history, the club has proudly sported blue and brown as its team colors.

Al-Kawkab Club Headquarters:

The Al-Kawkab Club is situated in the city of Sayhat. Initially, it had its headquarters at the residence of Sheikh Al-Amoudi, and the club was located next to the girls' school in the Suleimaniya neighborhood in the year 1381 H (Hijri calendar). After some time, it moved to another building in the same neighborhood. Later, it relocated to the residence of Mohammed Al-Juhaim, which served as its third headquarters, located next to the Musa bin Nasir school. In the same year that the club was officially registered under decision number 554 on 9/6/1388 H, it moved to a building adjacent to Sheikh Al-Huwaitan's residence. Subsequently, the club's headquarters shifted to the old Civil Defense building in 1396 H. In 1401 H, approval was granted by the General Presidency for Youth Welfare (currently known as the General Sports Authority) to allocate a government plot of land on King Saud Road in the Khalidiya neighborhood, west of Sayhat. Through the efforts of its members and associates, the land was developed, sports facilities were constructed, and fields were cultivated, along with some additional buildings, all achieved through their own initiatives. This became the current headquarters, which was officially moved to in 1409 H (1988 AD). During this period, the club achieved notable standings in various competitions.
