About

Al-Nassr Football Club is a professional side based in Riyadh, competing in the Saudi Pro League, founded on 24 October 1955. Walkouts curates a focused selection of signed football shirts and memorabilia that trace the club’s rise from local beginnings to continental success, with provenance notes for retail and match items.

The Riyadh outfit is one of only three clubs to have appeared in every season of Saudi Arabia’s top flight, and it has amassed 28 official titles including 9 Saudi top-tier league titles. The club’s continental peak came with a notable 1998 Asian double, when Al-Nassr won the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup, a sequence that still defines late 1990s Saudi football. The squad’s profile was further amplified by the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo in January 2023, and the club is ranked 101 by IFFHS.

Al-Nassr is a multi-sports club with teams in handball, basketball, volleyball and esports, and it retains a fierce local rivalry contested in the Riyadh Derby against Al-Hilal. Homegrown legends such as Majed Abdullah are woven into the club’s identity, and the mascot known as the Knight appears on fanwear and memorial items, lending character to many limited edition releases and commemorative shirts.

Collectors prize anniversary releases because they often carry unique crests or badge treatments. Post-1970 commemorative issues include the 1995 40-year release with a special crest, the 1998 star above the badge marking Asian success, and 2023 special edition runs tied to high-profile player arrivals. These anniversary shirts are chased for their variation in crest work and limited production runs.

Season and match magnets routinely drive demand: the 1997-98 continental campaign remains a holy grail for match-worn items, the 2018-19 domestic title season reintroduced a modern template, and the 2023-24 period marked a global spotlight with extended continental ambitions. Away shirts also carry provenance tales, notably the 1998 white away kit that is linked to the club’s Asian Super Cup fixtures, a colourway that resurfaces in collector conversations.

Fans value signed retail shirts as much as player-issue pieces, and authentic fanshop runs, early retail runs and player-issue variants are all collected; many Walkouts listings note a 1995 commemorative crest provenance and include a COA as verification. Kit supplier eras are part of the story too, moving through Nike, Victory and Duneus before later arrangements, and these supplier shifts create identifiable maker marks and stitching variants important to authentication. Free worldwide shipping is offered on selected framed and signed items.

Provenance statements matter when chasing examples from the 1997-98 season and the white away shirt linked to the Asian Super Cup, and Walkouts highlights COA-backed retail and match items with condition notes and imagery. Seekings range from early fanshop releases to match-worn shirts from the 1997-98 continental run and the 2018-19 championship season, with clear provenance and photographic evidence on listing pages.
