About

Al-Khaleej FC was founded on 1 January 1945 and the club, officially Al-Khaleej Club of Saihat, remains a recognised presence in eastern Saudi football, based in Saihat, Qatif and competing in the Saudi Pro League. Walkouts lists signed football shirts that speak to the club’s local roots, and this guide helps collectors understand provenance and typical releases tied to Khaleej Club’s long history.

The club is commonly referred to as Khaleej Club in English and Arabic speaking sources, and it represents Saihat and the Qatif area in the Eastern Province. While the team’s modern fixtures are lodged in the Saudi Pro League, its material history is rooted in community teams and regional cups that fed the senior side across decades, offering a wide field for shirt provenance and continuity for local fans.

Anniversary releases and commemorative retail runs are a key part of the club’s shirt story because the foundation date creates natural milestones. Collectors often look for shirts issued to mark mid century and post-war eras, and for Al-Khaleej that typically centres on centring releases around significant year markers which offer distinctive badges or woven labels tied to local themes.

Away shirts carry particular collector appeal when they reference cup ties. For Al-Khaleej, away kits in a yellow with green trim colourway have been associated in local memory with decisive domestic cup ties, and such palettes appear frequently in photographic archives of key King Cup encounters. That association makes certain away variants especially desirable when accompanied by match provenance.

Signed retail shirts from the official fanshop are actively collected as distinct from match issued shirts; early runs, player-issue variations and region specific retail releases are especially sought after because they often include unique sleeve or back-numbering styles. Collectors value framed retail shirts that show original retail tags, regional labels and authentic player-issue stitching as markers of provenance rather than solely match usage.

Verification remains central to provenance. Many private sales and specialist retailers supply provenance documentation, and items accompanied by a COA tend to command clearer interest because the certificate links the signature to a witnessed session or verified source, simplifying authentication for buyers and curators of Gulf football garments.

When seeking Al-Khaleej shirts, focus on season and match identifiers, for example shirts from the 1994-95 season or items associated with the 50th Anniversary 1995 release, and later runs such as the 2019-20 season editions. Those seasons and commemorative issues are referenced in photographs from Khaleej Club fixtures and regional cup programmes, and Walkouts can help surface items with clear provenance and accompanying documentation for both display and archival needs.
