History
editFounded in 2023, The team joined the Saudi Women's First Division League, the second tier of women's football in Saudi Arabia, for the 2023–24 season.[1][2] The team was placed in the Western Region Group alongside Al-Amal, Phoenix, Al-Ain, and Al-Hejaz. Al-zaeemat kicked off the season with a resounding win.[3] The team finished 2nd in their group, which qualified them for the final stages and ensured that, at worst, they would remain in the first division.[4] Abha, scheduled to play against Al Bayraq in the final stage.[5] had their match cancelled when Al Bayraq failed to field enough players, resulting in a 3–0 win for Abha by default.[6] In their second match, Abha faced the eventual champions and ended in a 1–1 draw, which led to their elimination. Al-Ula advanced due to their superior goal difference, as they played Al Bayraq unlike Abha.[7]
