Founded in 2016, Impact Women's Football Club started with college girls and their teachers, facing challenges like limited training and sponsorship due to the state of women's sports. Yet, they participated in different tournaments and played friendly matches with Bahraini teams, becoming one of the kingdom's early teams.[3][4]
The team joined the inaugural Women's community football league.[5] and also competed in the first tournament organized by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, the regional women's football championship.[6][7]
United Eagles competed in the first division league's debut season, placed in the east group alongside Al-Mutahed, Al-Taraji, and Flaij.[8] They secured a second-place finish, earning them a spot in the quarter-finals. However, they lost 1–2 to the eventual champions, Al-Riyadh, resulting in their elimination from the competition.[9][10]
The club was slated to take part in the first SAFF Women's Cup, scheduled to face Al-Ittihad in the round of 16. However, the team later withdrew from the tournament due to unforeseen circumstances.[11]
In the 2023–24 season, the club finished second in Group 2 with 6 wins out of 8 matches. This secured their spot in the finals and kept them safe from relegation.[12] In the final rounds, the club faced two heavy defeats, losing 5–0 and 8–2, which dashed their hopes of promotion.
