History
Al-Sarhan SC was founded in 1977, and is a club that has provided various cultural, social and sporting services to the Sama Al-Sarhan community in Badiah Gharbiyah.[4]
Al-Sarhan competed in the 2008 Jordanian Third Division League, which included five other sides from the Mafraq Governorate.[5]
Al-Sarhan was noted to have been invited to a training camp hosted by Saudi club Al-Orobah, with President Abdullah Al-Sarhan stating the importance of such co-operations for the club.[6]
On 6 March 2011, Al-Sarhan once again participated in a training camp abroad, this time hosted by Syrian club Al-Shouleh in Daraa. The camp was led by Iraqi manager Abdul Rauf Auf and his assistant Sami Al-Sarhan.[7]
Al-Sarhan was noted to have been playing in the 2012 Jordanian Second Division League.[8]
Al-Sarhan then participated in the 2013 Jordanian First Division League.[9] That season saw a riot break out between two Mafraq-based fanbases in Sama Al-Sarhan and Balama, where the two fanbases threw stones at one another, leading to the use of a tear gas, as an attempt to break up and disperse the riot.[10] Sama Al-Sarhan also achieved a 0-0 draw against Al-Hussein during the first leg of the 2013–14 Jordan FA Cup.[11] However, they were eliminated in the second leg at the round of 16 of the competition.
On 6 October 2020, Jordanian Minister Yousef Hassan Al-Issawi inaugurated the Sama Al-Sarhan Stadium, which was funded as a part of a combination of royal initiatives and governmental efforts.[12]
Al-Sarhan was among the participants of the 2020 Jordanian First Division League, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan.[13]
