History

Al-Qadsiah have been a regular and uninterrupted participant in the Saudi Premier League since its inception in the inaugural 1976-77 season, their best ever top-flight season came in the 1980–81 season when they finished in 3rd place. Al-Qadsiah's most successful period in their history came in the early 90's when they won the 1991-92 Crown Prince Cup against Al-Shabab 4–2 on penalties to claim their first ever top flight title. The club's cup win qualified them to the Asian Cup Winners' Cup, they reached the final to face South China who they beat 6-2 on aggregate to clinch the 1993–94 title. In the same season they also picked up the 1993–94 Saudi Federation Cup by beating Al-Nassr 2-0 in the final. After 21 consecutive seasons in the top flight, as well as achieving two domestic titles and one continental title the club was relegated for the first time in their history in the 1996–97 season.
