Al-Hashemiya SC (Jordan)


Al-Hashemiya Sports Club is a Jordanian football club based in Al-Hashimiya, Jordan. It currently competes in the Jordanian First Division League, the second tier of Jordanian football.

History

Background

Clubs around the Zarqa Governorate were seen as having experienced a slow decline in sports, as clubs were seen competing as low as the Jordanian Third Division League. However, this notion has been changing thanks to initiatives such as five-a-side football tournaments that Al-Hashemiya would participate in alongside other districts within Zarqa, such as the tournaments of 2023 and 2024.
Al-Hashemiya as a club hosts several sports, including football, but also judo, badminton and tennis. Mohammed Awad al-Zayyud was a former President of the club.

Past history and January 2014 fire

On January 2014, Al-Hashemiya found itself to be a victim of a fire, which destroyed most of the club's facilities at the time. It had previously suffered a fire on November 2012.

Recent success

Al-Hashemiya nearly gained promotion to the Jordanian Pro League for the first time as a club back in the 2022 Jordanian First Division League. However, they narrowly missed out on promotion, finishing with 29 points that season.
