History
Women's football
The club was originally founded in 2018 under the name 6 Yard Football Academy, aimed at nurturing young talents in sports.[2] In July 2019, Joel Cornelli, a Brazilian coach, took on the role of manager of the academy, with Stephanie Al-Naber and Hebah Fakhereddin as assistant coaches.[3] Two years later, the club achieved the Division 1 title in their first participation, securing promotion to the Jordan Women's Football League, rebranding as Etihad Club in 2022.[2] In July 2023, Cornelli transitioned to coaching the first team during the championship round, replacing Lebanese coach Wael Gharzeddine.[4] They eventually clinched their first league title, earning a spot in the inaugural 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League and the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship.[5]
Men's football
The men's senior football team first participated at the 2023 Jordanian Third Division League season, having been eliminated on penalties to Shabab Hauran in the round of 32. Led by sports consultant and former Jordan national football team manager Adnan Hamad,[6] as well as manager Odai Al-Saify and goalkeeper coach Lo'ai Al-Amaireh,[7] the 2025 Jordanian Third Division League season saw them narrowly lose on the round of 16 to Shabab Hwarah.
