History

edit

Al-Arabi Sports Club's origins began when a group of 22 young intellectuals were interested in establishing a place, where they could gather and practice their various hobbies. Thus, the Acting and Music Club was formed in 1945.[3] The club began as one that focused on youth culture and music, and sports was not a focus of the club at the time. It established its sports branch in 1955, under the current name Al-Arabi SC.[4] Al-Arabi SC is considered to be one of the oldest football clubs formed in Jordan, and the oldest club in Northern Jordan.[5]

According to Fayez Salim, the football team rose to the ranks of the Premier League team and was the first team from Irbid to win the Jordan FA Cup in 1986 and is still the only team from the city of Irbid to have won it[6] as of 2024.

Al-Arabi was also famous for its handball team,[7][8] as it dominated the Kingdom’s championships for nearly 16 consecutive years, between 1983 and ending in 1991, as well as hosting other sports such as tennis, volleyball, cycling and athletics.[9] A peculiarity within the club during the domination of its handball team was that some of their players switched between representing Al-Arabi in handball and Al-Arabi in football.[10]

Recent history

edit

Al-Arabi finished as runners-up of the 2009–10 Jordan FA Cup, where they narrowly lost 1-0 to Al-Wehdat at the King Abdullah II Stadium.[11]

On 8 November 2017, Al-Arabi was threatened with collapse as it faced a difficult financial situation, owing a debt of over 1 million dinars.[12]

On 1 July 2019, various properties of Al-Arabi were put up for sale that amounted to approximately $10.4 million.[13]

On 17 December 2019, Al-Arabi and Al-Hussein began renovating a football stadium in the Zabada area of Irbid. It would be used as a training ground for both clubs, as opposed to go all the way to Ar-Ramtha to conduct their training.[14]
