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 the 2023–24 and 2024–25 season, in addition to achieving 3 Jordan FA Shield titles, and 3 Jordan Super Cup.[1]

History

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.

First major honours and AFC tournament debut

Al-Hussein then won the 2003 Jordan Super Cup after defeating Al-Faisaly 2–1 in the final. They later competed at the 2005 AFC Cup,[2] winning their group and reaching the quarter-finals.[3]

Relegation and back to first division

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.

First league title

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]
