History
Al-Tura Sports Club was founded in 1979 in the city of Al-Turrah. The club carries out sports, cultural and social activities.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The club gained its first promotion to the Jordanian First Division League back in 1985.[7]
It had participated in its first Jordanian top flight experience back in 1999, to which it immediately got relegated back down to the second tier.[8]
On 11 June 2023, Al-Tura hired Hamza Al-Badarneh as their manager.[9]
On 1 September 2024, Al-Tura SC's building, which was built in 1986, has reported to have been facing a potential collapse, following its municipality's neglect.[10]
Due to participate in the 2024 Jordanian Second Division League,[11] on 7 November 2024, the Jordan Football Association announced that it would relegate 15 of the 16 participants of the to the league, as a result of refusing to play matches due to financial demands from the Football Association. Al-Tura was the only club exempt from punishment, and as a result, were awarded as champions of the competition and promoted to the Jordanian First Division League for the upcoming season.[12][13][14] It would subsequently get relegated back to the Second Division League that season.[15]
