Amman Sports Club (Arabic: نادي عمان الرياضي) was a women's football club based in Amman, Jordan. The club was the women's section of Amman SC, and they played in the Jordan Women's Football League until 2022.
Amman won their first league title in the 2010–11 season, ending the dominance of Shabab Al-Ordon.[1] They became the first Jordanian club to participate in the AFC Women's Club Championship in 2021,[2][3] which they won after finishing top of their group.[4]
Zain was noted as a significant sponsor of Amman SC.[5][6]
On 7 August 2019, Amman recorded a 32-0 victory against Kafr Rakeb during the Women's Jordan Cup, highlighting the stark differences in quality between the top and bottom sides.[7]
In May 2022, the club’s president, Mustafa al-Afouri, announced its dissolution due to 2.5 years of unpaid funds from the Jordan Football Association (JFA).[8]
