Al-Seeb Club (Arabic: نادي السيب; also known locally as Sayyid Al-Nawadi, or "Master of the Clubs", or just plainly as Al-Seeb) is an Omani sports club based in Al-Seeb, Oman. The club is currently playing in the Oman Professional League, top division of Oman Football Association. Their home ground is Al-Seeb Stadium. The stadium is government owned, but they also own their own personal stadium and sports equipment, as well as their own training facilities.
Al-Seeb Club was founded on 3 January 1972 after merging four different small teams (Watan, Butolah, Hilal and Fida) in Al-Seeb area. The four teams agreed after several meetings in between to unite together and form Al-Seeb. The club was officially registered on 26 June 2002.
Shihab Bin Tariq is the leader and chairman of Al-Seeb since 1982. He joined the club in 1975 after completing his university studies and then started with the club playing for the volleyball first team. He also participated in other games such as football, basketball and table tennis. His father was also a sportsperson as he was a hockey player and a swimmer.
Although being mainly known for their football, Al-Seeb Club like many other clubs in Oman, have not only football in their list, but also hockey, volleyball, handball, basketball, badminton and squash. They also have a youth football team competing in the Omani Youth league.
