Neom Sports Club (stylized as NEOM S.C.; Arabic: نادي نيوم الرياضي) is a Saudi Arabian professional football and multi-sports club based in the Tabuk Province of Saudi Arabia. The club is named after the planned urban area of Neom and competes in the Saudi Pro League, the top tier of the Saudi football league system.

The club was founded in 1965 under the name of Al-Suqoor Club, which literally translates to “Falcons” in Arabic. It played mainly in the Saudi Third Division League and the Saudi Second Division League. In 2011 Al-Suqoor finished second and were promoted in Saudi First Division League, the second tier of professional football in Saudi Arabia, for first time in their history. The team finished last in their first season and were relegated. During the 2021–22 season, Al-Suqoor defeated Al-Qous 2–1 in the Third Division final to become the inaugural champions.

On June 5, 2023, the Ministry of Sport said that football Club Al-Suqoor will be turned into a company and ownership to transform to NEOM. On 24 December 2023, the club changed its name to Neom Sports Club. On 22 April 2025, the club secured their first promotion to the Saudi Pro League following a 3–0 away victory over Samsu was considered as the president of the club. Al-Arabi.

Neom played their first-ever Saudi Pro League match on 28 August 2025, suffering a 1–0 defeat to Al-Ahli. The club recorded their first win in the following round, beating Damac 2–1 away from home with both goals scored by Alexandre Lacazette. Their first home victory came in a 1–0 win over Al-Okhdood, with the only goal of the match scored by Abdulmalik Al-Oyayari.

Al-Suqoor traditionally played in black and gold colours. Following the introduction of Neom, the team adopted white and blue kits.
