The national federation was created in 1956 and became a FIFA affiliate in 1956.[1][2] However women's football is not included in the country's FIFA coordinated Goals! project.[2] By 2011, inside the Saudi Arabia Football Federation, there has been an effort to create women's football programs at universities. Input had been sought on how to do this from other national federations including ones from the United States, Germany, Brazil and the United Kingdom.
