History
Kufrsoum Sports Club was established in 1973, when a group of young people from the village of Kufr Soum sought to establish a sports club, to which the club began its activities in football, handball, volleyball, athletics, and table tennis once they were granted approval. It played its first competitive match in 1975 against Al-Wehdat in the Second Division. It gained its first promotion to the First Division in 1993.[2]
Kufrsoum achieved club history when it won the 1998 Jordan Shield Cup title after defeating Al-Hussein 1-0.[3]
It once fielded an almost complete lineup consisting of the Obeidat family, a family that is prevalent to the village.[4]
