في قلب محافظة ضمد، وتحديداً منذ عام 2015، وُلد حلم رياضي صغير اسمه «نادي الوطن»، سرعان ما تحول إلى نموذج ملهم في العمل المؤسسي والرياضي المنظم. نادي الوطن ليس مجرد منشأة رياضية ناشئة؛ بل هو عنوان لرؤية واضحة، وطموح لا يعرف حدوداً. رغم غياب المنشآت الرياضية الكاملة في بداياته، وافتقاده إلى مقر دائم أو دعم مادي كبير، تمكّن النادي من شق طريقه بثبات، واضعاً لنفسه خطة استراتيجية، تستند إلى تطوير البنية الإدارية، وصناعة الفرق التنافسية، وتمثيل المملكة على المستويات الوطنية والدولية.
خلال سنوات قليلة، نجح نادي الوطن في حصد العديد من البطولات في ألعاب متعددة مثل كرة القدم، وألعاب القوى. كما تأهلت فرقه إلى مستويات عليا في مختلف الفئات، وبرز عدد من لاعبيه في المنتخبات الوطنية، في دلالة واضحة على الاحترافية التي تُدار بها المواهب داخل النادي. ويُحسب لإدارة النادي، التي تعاقب عليها عدد من القيادات الشابة والطموحة، قدرتها على تحويل التحديات إلى فرص، معززة روح الانتماء بين اللاعبين، والمدربين، والإداريين.
اليوم، يقف نادي الوطن كنموذج سعودي يُحتذى به في كيفية بناء نادٍ ناجح من الصفر. ليس فقط من حيث النتائج، بل من حيث المنهجية، والحوكمة، والاستثمار في الإنسان. وهو ما جعل وزارة الرياضة تشيد بتجربته، وتضعه ضمن أبرز الأندية الصاعدة في المملكة.
في زمن تتسابق فيه الأندية نحو التوسع والإنفاق الضخم، يُثبت نادي الوطن أن التخطيط والروح والانتماء لا تقل أهمية عن المال والمنشآت. ويؤكد أن من «ضمد» يمكن أن تخرج قصة نجاح تكتب في صفحات الرياضة السعودية بأحرف من فخر.
المؤكد أن نادي الوطن هو النادي الوحيد على مستوى المملكة الذي يشارك في جميع الدوريات بمختلف الفئات السنية، وقد أثبت كفاءته عبر تخريج لاعبين التحقوا بأندية كبرى، مما يجعل منه منصة وطنية لاكتشاف المواهب، وليس مجرد كيان رياضي محلي. ورغم هذا التميز، إلا أن النادي يواجه تحديات كبيرة في ظل محدودية البنية التحتية، وغياب الدعم التسويقي والاستثماري الكافي.
إن توفير منشآت رياضية متكاملة يُعد ضرورة ملحة لضمان استمرار هذا التميز، كما أن بناء منظومة تسويق واستثمار رياضي سيُسهم في تعزيز موارد النادي واستدامة عطائه. نادي الوطن لا يُمثل ضمد فقط، بل هو قصة نجاح وطنية جديرة بالدعم، ومشروع رياضي يستحق أن يُحتضن ليواصل رسالته في خدمة رياضة الوطن.

In the heart of the Dhamad Governorate, specifically since 2015, a small sports dream named "Al-Watan Club" was born, quickly transforming into an inspiring model of organized institutional and sports work. Al-Watan Club is not just an emerging sports facility; it is a symbol of a clear vision and ambition without limits. Despite the absence of complete sports facilities in its early days and lacking a permanent headquarters or significant financial support, the club managed to carve its path steadily, establishing a strategic plan based on developing administrative structures, creating competitive teams, and representing the Kingdom at national and international levels.
Within a few years, Al-Watan Club succeeded in winning numerous championships in various sports such as football and athletics. Its teams qualified for higher levels in different categories, and several of its players emerged in national teams, clearly indicating the professionalism with which talents are managed within the club. The club's management, which has seen a number of young and ambitious leaders, is credited with its ability to turn challenges into opportunities, fostering a spirit of belonging among players, coaches, and administrators.
Today, Al-Watan Club stands as a Saudi model to be emulated in how to build a successful club from scratch. Not only in terms of results but also in methodology, governance, and investment in people. This has led the Ministry of Sports to commend its experience and classify it among the most prominent rising clubs in the Kingdom.
In an era where clubs are racing towards expansion and massive spending, Al-Watan Club proves that planning, spirit, and belonging are just as important as money and facilities. It confirms that from "Dhamad," a success story can emerge that is written in the pages of Saudi sports with letters of pride.
It is certain that Al-Watan Club is the only club in the Kingdom that participates in all leagues across various age categories, having proven its efficiency by producing players who have joined major clubs, making it a national platform for discovering talents, not just a local sports entity. Despite this distinction, the club faces significant challenges due to limited infrastructure and the absence of sufficient marketing and investment support.
Providing integrated sports facilities is an urgent necessity to ensure the continuation of this excellence, and building a sports marketing and investment system will contribute to enhancing the club's resources and sustaining its contributions. Al-Watan Club represents not just Dhamad, but is a national success story worthy of support, and a sports project that deserves to be embraced to continue its mission in serving the nation's sports.
