Al-Faisaly Sports Club was founded in Amman in 1932 under the name Al-Faisaly Scouts Club. It adopted its current name in 1941 and is the oldest sports and social club in Jordan, earning it the status of the dean of Jordanian football. Background Founding Figures and Presidents of Al-Faisaly Club Al-Faisaly SC’s history has been shaped by a number of prominent honorary presidents and club leaders. Sherif Fawaz Sharaf was the club's first honorary president in 1932, followed by Dr. Qasim Malhas in 1935, while Suleiman Nabulsi played a key role in reviving the club in 1941. Sharif Nasser bin Jameel served as honorary president from 1956 until the late 1960s, helping the club regain its prominence. Under Sheikh Sultan Majed Al-Adwan (1970–1978) and Sheikh Mustafa Majed Al-Adwan (1979–1992), Al-Faisaly entered a new golden era. Sultan Al-Adwan later returned as president from 1992 to 2008, overseeing the club's most successful period internationally, including two AFC Cup titles, one runners-up finish, and appearances in the finals of the Arab Champions League and Arab Cup Winners’ Championship.
Honours The first official Jordanian League was launched in 1944, with Al-Faisaly winning the inaugural title, which was presented to Rashad Al-Mufti by the founding King Abdullah I. Since then, the club has established itself as one of the most successful teams in Jordan, winning 35 Jordanian League titles, 21 Jordan Cup titles, 10 Jordan FA Shield titles, and 17 Jordan Super Cup titles. Asian and Arab Achievements Al-Faisaly SC has made a significant impact in Asian and Arab competitions, establishing itself as one of Jordan's most successful clubs at the international level. The club became the first team to win the AFC Cup twice consecutively, claiming the title in 2005 and 2006, before finishing as runners-up in 2007. Al-Faisaly also reached the final of the Arab Champions League in 2007 and 2017 finishing as runners-up in both, as well as Arab Cup Winners' Cup final in 1996 and the Arab Super Cup final in 2000, finishing runners-up in both competitions.
