Saihat's football club traces back to 1945, when the town's team formed as Al-Nasr, playing under a yellow-and-black badge. King Faisal bin Abdulaziz later ordered the name changed to Al-Khaleej, a nod to the Gulf waters along the Eastern Province coast, and the colours shifted to yellow and green. The Eastern Province's football authorities recognised the club in 1968.

Promotion pushes have defined the club more than any single trophy run: it topped the Saudi First Division in 2005-06 and again in 2021-22. Hussein Al-Turki captained the side through one of its sharper spells, twice finishing as the First Division's top scorer, in 2010 and 2011.

Home games are played at the Prince Nayef Sports City Stadium in nearby Qatif, which holds 12,000, though Al-Khaleej regularly shifts fixtures to the larger Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. The club's best recent cup run came in 2023-24, when it reached the semi-finals of the King's Cup before Al-Nassr ended the run with a 3-1 win.
