The best club in Saudi Arabia and the leader of six Asian championships, Al-Hilal has been founded in 1957 in the name of ‘El-Olympy’ and continued under that name for almost two months, until it has been changed to Al-Hilal club.

The name of Al-Hilal was given after a match which attended by the late king Saud between ‘El-Olympy’ and Al-Kokab. The late king asked, “Who named this name?” The King was replied “Bin Said”. Then, The King ordered to choose a name of El-Olympy with one of these three names (Al-Yamama- Al-Wehda- Al-Hilal). Thus, El-Sheikh Abdul Rahman Bin Said chose the name of Al-Hilal and it was approved in 1378 A.H
