Al-Istiqlal Club (Arabic: نادي الاستقلال) is a women's football club based in Amman, Jordan. The club plays in the Jordan Women's Pro League, the top tier of Jordanian women's football.[1]

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1986. The club's main commitment is to develop women's football in Jordan.[2] On 25 September 2008, the club appointed Hisham Al-Sharari as the club's president for the next two years.[3]

On 2 April 2015, Al-Istiqlal's star player Rawan Al-Tal explained the team's ambition to remain in the 2015 Jordan Women's Pro League and not drop to the second tier.[4] On 4 November 2015, Zakaria Hijazi was appointed as chairman of the board of directors of the club.[5][6][7]

On 20 August 2016, Istiqlal appointed Syrian Rudayna Agha Chechany as manager of the club.[8]

In May 2018, Istiqlal organized and hosted a Ramadan five-a-side football tournament, consisting of 8 women's clubs around Jordan.[9][10][11]

On 29 April 2019, Istiqlal signed two Tunisian footballers, Ghada Ayadi and Samia Aouni, which marked the first time that a Jordanian women's club signed players abroad in the Jordan Women's Pro League.[12][13] Their investment yielded positive results, as Istiqlal found themselves to be top of the 2019 Jordan Women's Pro League after two matches played.[14]

On 24 November 2021, Zakaria Omar Hijazi was reelected as president of the club.[15]

On 5 January 2022, Istiqlal were threatened with dissolving the club, after treasurer and head of the sports committee Ayman Al-Fawuri complained about overdue payments from the Jordan Football Association since November 2021.[16] On 17 May 2022, board of directors member Aroub Al-Abadi applied to run in the Jordan Football Association elections, with the support of Ayoub Al-Fawuri.[17]

On 21 October 2023, Ali Al-Amayreh won the presidential election of Al-Istiqlal Club.[18]

During the 2023 Jordan Women's Pro League season, Istiqlal were the only club who had hired a female manager by way of 34-year old Sarah Al-Shehabi, with the other 4 clubs hiring male managers.[19] She departed the following season, joining Amman FC as an assistant manager.[20]
