Al Nassr was established in 1955 by Zeid Bin Mutlaq Al-Ja'ba Al-Dewish Al-Mutairi. Training took place in an old playground at Gashlat Al-Shortah west of Al-Fotah Garden where there was a small football field and a small room to store balls and shirts. In addition to the Al-Ja'ba brothers, Ali and Issa Al-Owais were among the first to work at the club. The club operated as an amateur club until 1960 when it was registered officially with the General Presidency of Youth Welfare. It was at this time that
