Al-Hussein Sport Club (Arabic: نادي الحسين الرياضي) is a professional football club based in Irbid which competes in the Jordanian Pro League.

The club achieved two Jordanian Pro League titles in 2023–24 and 2024–25, in addition to achieving three Jordan FA Shield titles, and Three Jordan Super Cup titles.[1]

History

[edit]

Al-Hussein was established in 1964, followed by promotion to the Jordan League in 1975. Their first participation in regional competitions was in the 1993 Arab Club Champions Cup. They later competed at the 2005 AFC Cup,[2] winning their group and reaching the quarter-finals.[3] In 2010–11, they relegated to the Division 1 for the first time, following a 3–1 defeat against Kufrsoum in the playoffs.[4] The club later clinched the 2012–13 Division 1 title, securing promotion to the 2013–14 Jordan League.

In the 2023–24 season, the club secured their first Jordanian Pro League trophy on the final matchday with a 2–1 victory over Sahab. They achieved this milestone with an impressive record of just one defeat and only six goals conceded throughout the season.[5] In the following season, Al-Hussein retained their league title despite entering the final matchday in second place, thanks to a late equalizer by Al-Ramtha against league leaders Al-Wehdat.[6] In the same season, they lost the FA Cup final to rivals Al-Wehdat on penalties for the second consecutive year, marking their seventh defeat in the final overall.[7]

Stadium

[edit]

Al-Hussein plays their home games at Al-Hassan Stadium in Irbid. The stadium was built in 1971 and opened in 1976. It is also the home stadium of Al-Arabi and Al-Sareeh. It has a current capacity of 12,000 spectators.[citation needed]
