The club's home ground is the 22,000-seat Al-Gharrafa Stadium, where they have played since 2014.

Al-Shahania was founded on 27 December 1998, under the name Al-Nasr, under the decision Sheikh Mohammed Bin Eid Al Thani, who was then the chairman of the Public Authority for Youth and Sports at that time. At the beginning of its establishment, the club's headquarters were located in Al Jemailiya. In 2001, the club relocated to Al-Shahaniya, which is approximately 20 km northwest of Doha, under the decision of Sheikh Jassim bin Thamer al Thani, who was vice president of the Qatar Olympic Committee at that time.

In 2004, the club changed its name to Al-Shahania by decision of the board of directors, in order to better represent the region where it is based.
