Wej Sports Club (Arabic: نادي وج الرياضي) is a Saudi Arabian professional football club based in Al Hawiyah, Ta'if, that competes in the Saudi Second Division, third tier of the Saudi Arabian football league system, formed in 1976.[2][3]
On 26 February 2016, Wej promoted to the Saudi First Division for the first time in their history after beating Al-Badaya 1–0 on aggregate in the play-off of Saudi Second Division.[4] They, however, were subsequently relegated back to the third tier the following season.
