Al-Qadisiyah Club, one of the oldest and most prestigious sports clubs in the Eastern Province, continues to solidify its leading role in social responsibility through the launch of the “Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan Season.” This annual initiative is not merely a series of events, but a tangible embodiment of the club’s commitment to its community in Al-Khobar and the Eastern Province, where sports become a bridge for human connection and the promotion of values of solidarity and giving during the holy month.
Historical background: The role of Saudi clubs in serving the community
Historically, sports clubs in Saudi Arabia have been more than just arenas for athletic competition; they have always been social and cultural hubs. With the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, this role has grown significantly, with clubs becoming key partners in achieving the goals of the Quality of Life Program. Al-Qadisiyah Club, with its history dating back to 1967, serves as a model for this transformation, leveraging its popularity and large fan base to serve developmental and social objectives that extend far beyond the pitch.
The importance of the season and its expected impact
The Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan season derives its significance from its direct impact on the lives of community members. Locally, the season strengthens social bonds among residents, fosters a positive and stimulating environment for youth and families, and promotes a culture of volunteerism. Regionally, the success of such initiatives inspires other clubs to adopt similar programs, thus enhancing the developmental role of sports institutions in the Gulf. This approach aligns with national objectives aimed at increasing community engagement and activating the role of the non-profit sector.
Quality initiatives that embody the spirit of giving
The Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan season includes a range of diverse initiatives carefully designed to meet different needs in the community:
Providing water in mosques
This initiative reflects the authentic values of giving in Saudi society, as volunteers from the club’s staff and fans distribute water to worshippers in the region’s mosques, emphasizing the importance of compassion and solidarity during the holy month of Ramadan.
Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan Umrah
As an extension of the club’s efforts to serve the community, the “Al-Qadisiyah Umrah” program provides an opportunity for a number of the region’s residents to perform the Umrah rituals, which enhances the spiritual and humanitarian impact of the season and leaves a deep moral mark on the beneficiaries and their families.
Al-Qadisiyah Iftar for those fasting
“Al-Qadisiyah Iftar” is one of the most prominent initiatives of the season, as it embodies the spirit of social solidarity by organizing group Iftar meals for fasting people, supporting the beneficiary groups, in addition to promoting a culture of volunteer work among the youth participating in the organization and distribution.
Holy Quran memorization competition
Believing in the importance of consolidating religious values, the club organizes a competition for memorizing and reciting the Holy Quran, which aims to encourage children and youth to connect with the Book of God, and to create a stimulating faith-based atmosphere during the holy month.
With these initiatives, Al-Qadisiyah Ramadan Season confirms that it has become an anticipated annual event, not only enhancing the club’s position as a sports and community platform, but also creating sustainable marketing value for partners and sponsors who find in this season a real opportunity to connect with the community and support its noble causes.
