History See also:List of Al-Faisaly SC seasons Foundation and first years The club was founded in 1932 under the name Al-Ashbal Club. Football was not the only sport they played. However, because of a lack of financial resources, they focused on the most popular sport in Jordan, football.

In 1941, Al-Faisaly restarted, but they realized that they needed a large budget. They decided to issue a charity lottery and set up a committee to meet with the Jordanian army chief John Bagot Glubb to obtain official approval to sell the lottery tickets to Jordanian army units. The cultural committee was active in distributing the Lottery, which resulted in the collection of 3,700 Jordanian dinars, and this amount was enough to get a piece of land next to the Islamic Scientific College "currently" in Jabal Amman near "first" circle and "rainbow" street, and intend to rebuild the club and to raise the declaration again, they had what they wanted The club returned under the name of Al-Faisaly this time.

Colours Al-Faisaly's home kit is all sky blue shirts and white shorts, while their away kit is all white shirts and black shorts.

Stadium Al-Faisaly plays their home games at Amman International Stadium in Amman. The stadium was built in 1964 and opened in 1968, it is owned by The Jordanian government and operated by The higher council of youth.

Riots Riots have repeatedly broken out for the past years between supporters and fans of Jordan's top rival clubs Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat, which is also a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman. The riots are regarded as reflecting tensions between the Palestinian fans of Al-Wehdat and the Jordanian fans of Al-Faisaly.
