Dougra Club[1] (Arabic: نادي دوقره) is a Jordanian football club based in Duwaqarah, Irbid Governorate, Jordan. It currently competes at the Jordanian First Division League. As of the 2026–27 season, the club will play in the Jordanian Pro League, the first tier of Jordanian football.

They host a variety of sports. In addition to football, they have a handball team,[2] a kickboxing team,[3] as well as a women's team.[4][5][6][7]

History

The social and cultural club was founded in 1990, where it serves various cultural activities throughout the year, as well as sports activities for the Duwaqarah community.[8]

In early 2007, Club President Mohammad Al-Shaloul was reported to have waited 5 years for financial support from the Crown, to which they never received back.[9]

On 14 August 2022, Dougra gained promotion to the 2023 Jordanian Second Division League from the 2022 Jordanian Third Division League, after beating Kufranjah 1-0 in a quarter-final matchup.[10]

On 30 August 2023, Dougra beat Balama in the 2023–24 Jordan FA Cup 4–1 in the preliminary round.[11]

Dougra had what was initially seen as a successful 2023 Jordanian Second Division League season, as a team that was immediately promoted from the Third Division League. They had beaten Jerash 1–0 on aggregate, to advance to the final of the competition, meaning that Dougra was meant to participate in the Jordanian First Division League for the upcoming season, which was seen as a dream for the club.[12][13]

However, on 18 December 2023, Jerash filed a complaint to the Jordan Football Association's Disciplinary Committee, due to alleged foul play on Dougra's end throughout the two-legged affair.[14] The hearings from both clubs lasted for months, to which eventually on 4 June 2024, the JFA ruled in favour of Jerash, and gave harsh penalties to Dougra, including demoting them back to the Jordanian Third Division League, as well as promote Jerash to the 2024 Jordanian First Division League in their place.[15] Dougra eventually went on to beat Al-Karmel 5–1 at Al-Hassan Stadium in the final, to win the league that season.[16]

Other major penalties include Dougra being stripped of their most recent league trophy. Club President Mohamed Al-Shaloul was deprived from participating in any football-related activity for two years and fining him an amount of (10,000) dinars, as well as fine Dougra an amount of (15,000) dinars and withhold any participation revenues Dougra would have gotten from their past season.[17][18][19][20]

Dougra appealed the ruling from the Jordan Football Association's Disciplinary Committee, to which the JFA's Appeals Committee decided to "rescind the decision issued by the Disciplinary Committee to relegate Dougra to the Jordanian Third Division League in light of audio recordings of a complaint filed by Jerash".[21]

On 27 December 2024, the Jordan Football Association reversed their decision on Dougra to relegate them, as well as allow them to participate in the 2024 Jordanian First Division League.[22][23] It defeated Sahab 15–1.[24] They subsequently finished 8th of 14th that season. After much uncertainty about the statuses of Dougra and Jerash,[25] on 8 March, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) accepted Dougra's appeal against the JFA, allowing them to remain in the First Division League and relegating Jerash,[1] who were later reinstated by the JFA for the following season. The CAS deemed that the JFA "failed to prove the charge of manipulating the results of the matches according to the approved standard of proof".[26] President Mohammad Al-Shaloul subsequently made a personal case against the JFA, demanding the federation to compensate him of up to a million Jordanian dinars, due to defamation and the moral damages that affected both him and his club.[27]

For the following season Dougra set their goals to getting promoted to the Jordanian Pro League by hiring Imad Rashad as manager.[28] However, on 20 August, Dougra hired Khaled Al-Daboubi as manager of the club, after Rashad left by mutual consent.[29] By 3 December, Dougra achieved the historic promotion to the Pro League, after defeating Ma'an 1-0.[30][31] It would go on to finish as runners-up of the competition.[32]
