In 1377H
Shabab sport club was divided into two parts. As a result of this division
two teams came into being: Shabab team and Olymbi team which was headed by
Abdulrahman bin Saeed the club’s chief at that time. But King Saud had issued
an order to change the name of“Al-Olymbi“and substitute it by Arabic name.
Therefore the club’s members suggested the three following names:
Al-Yamamah,
Al-Wehdah and Al-Hilal. All three names were reported to HM the King. The
first champion in whichHilal club
participated was in 1380H when the ministry of education organized the first
championship in the central area after the sport supervision responsibilities
was assigned to ministry of education. But Hilal was about to win that
champion unless the other teams objected for participation of five foreign
players with Hilal team in that champion.
In 1383H
Hilal succeeded in winning the championship of the central eastern area but
it lost the champion of the Kingdom after losing the match against Al- Etihad
3-0. In the next year Hilal were the champions of the two areas as well as
the champions of the Kingdom.
