Al Shahaniya was founded on 27 December 1998, under the name Al-Nasr, under the decision of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Eid Al Thani, who was then the chairman of the Public Authority for youth and sports at that time. At the beginning of its establishment, the club's headquarters were located in
Al Jemailiya. In 2001, the club relocated to

In 2004, the club changed its name to ''Al Shahaniya'' by decision of the board of directors, in order to better represent the region where it is based.
