2024 Jordanian Second Division League Explained

Season:2024
Matches:0
Total Goals:0
Updated:7 November 2024

The 2024 Jordanian Second Division League was an abandoned season, which was set to start on 10 October 2024.[1]

15 of the 16 clubs participating from that season were relegated to the upcoming Jordanian Third Division League, as a result of the Jordan Football Association handing punishments to each club that refused to play second-tier due to financial demands. The 15 clubs plan on appealing the decision, in hopes of reversing the ruling.[2]

Al-Tura were exempt from punishment, as the only club that arrived to their scheduled match back in October 2024. As a result, they were awarded as champions of the competition and were promoted to the upcoming Jordanian First Division League season.[3] [4]

The league featured 10 teams from the 2023 campaign, two new teams relegated from the 2023 Division 1: Al-Turra and Alia, and three new teams promoted from the 2023 Jordanian Third Division League: Arhaba, Shabab Hauran and Shabab Um Al-Sarab.[5]
