Al Shahaniya was founded in 1996 as Al-Nasr, under the decision of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Eid Al Thani, the chairman of the Public Authority for youth and sports. The club was considered as the spiritual successor of Al Nasr SC, an amateur football club founded in 1951. Al Nasr (Victory) became notable as the first Qatari club to play against international clubs and recruit foreigners.[2][3]
At the beginning of its establishment, the club's headquarters were located in Al Jemailiya. In 2001, the club relocated to Al-Shahaniya. It was furnished with its own stadium and headquarters, although with limited capacity.[2] In 2004, the club changed its name to Al Shahaniya, in order to better represent the region.[4]
