Established in 2019 as the White Lion Club (Arabic: نادي الليث الأبيض),[1] a women's football team in Jeddah, the club participated in the inaugural Jeddah Women's League in 2019 and competed in the Women's Community Football League the following year.[2][3]
In 2022, the club joined the newly established Saudi Women's First Division League, the second tier of Saudi football, organized by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.[4] Placed in Group Two, the team finished in second place, qualifying for the playoffs. They defeated Sahm 2–0 to advance to the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated after a 5–0 loss to Jeddah Pride.[5]
In mid-2023, the team was renamed the Western Hawks (Arabic: الصقور الغربية).[1] They were acquired by Al-Suqoor FC in September 2023.[6] Competing in the First Division League under their new name, the team was placed in the west group, where they finished second, qualifying for the final stages and ensuring they avoided relegation.[7]
The club took part in the inaugural SAFF Women's Cup and was drawn against Al Hilal in the round of 16. They were defeated 4–0, exiting the competition in its early stages.[8]
On December 24, 2023, the club was renamed Neom Sports Club following the rebranding of its namesake.[9] Drawn into Group C of the final stage, the team suffered a heavy loss to Al-Amal and a draw against Jeddah, ultimately failing to secure promotion.[10]
