History
Background
Clubs around the Zarqa Governorate were seen as having experienced a slow decline in sports, as clubs were seen competing as low as the Jordanian Third Division League.[2][3] However, this notion has been changing thanks to initiatives such as five-a-side football tournaments that Al-Hashemiya would participate in alongside other districts within Zarqa, such as the tournaments of 2023[4][5] and 2024.[6][7]
Al-Hashemiya as a club hosts several sports, including football, but also judo,[8] badminton[9] and tennis.[10] Mohammed Awad al-Zayyud was a former President of the club.[11]
Past history and January 2014 fire
In January 2014, Al-Hashemiya found itself to be a victim of a fire, which destroyed most of the club's facilities at the time.[12][13] It had previously suffered a fire in November 2012.[14]
Recent history
Al-Hashemiya nearly gained promotion to the Jordanian Pro League for the first time as a club back in the 2022 Jordanian First Division League. However, they narrowly missed out on promotion, finishing with 29 points that season.[15]
In the lead-up to the 2025 Jordanian First Division League season, Al-Hashemiya aimed to get promoted to the Pro League through investing in the club.[16] They however ended the season in 7th place.
