History

Amman FC was officially announced on 9 May 2015, during a ceremony sponsored by the Mayor of Amman, Aqel Biltaji. The event was attended by notable figures, including former Prime Minister Taher Masri, who sponsored the event.[3] [4] Mayor Beltaji emphasized the club's role in promoting and developing Jordanian sports, particularly for youth, who are viewed as essential for societal advancement. Ghassan Nuqul, the club’s president, highlighted the commitment to fostering discipline and teamwork among young athletes, with programs available for age groups ranging from 7 to 17, as well as a special team for girls. The club aims to strengthen community ties and enhance the youth sector in Jordan.[5]

As a club, Amman FC is noted for their successful youth[6] [7] [8] and women's footballing programs, as well their emerging men's program.

During the 2022 Jordan Women's First Division League season, Amman FC was noted for having maintained a considerable gap, following a decisive 13-1 victory over Shabab Bushra and gaining 24 points by round 9 of the season.[9]

Amman FC then participated in the 2023 Jordanian-Saudi Women's Clubs Championship, representing various Jordanian teams that tournament.[10] The team was coached by Hussam Abu Riash, who stated that the team was prepared to face Al Hilal, as well as highlighting the benefits of such a tournament for the club.[11] After they finished their group as runners-up, they eventually defeated Al Nassr 4-0 to reach the final, to which they lost 2-1 to Etihad Club.[12] Amman FC later finished the 2023 Jordan Women's Pro League in third place.[13]

As a part of Zain Jordan's strategic partnership initiative, the telecommunications company sponsored Amman FC since 2023.[14]

The club proceeded to gain a spot from last season, finishing as runners-up of the 2024 Jordan Women's Pro League.[15]
