History
Foundation and first years
The club was founded in 1932 under the name Al-Ashbal Club. Football was not the only sport they played. However, because of a lack of financial resources, they focused on the most popular sport in Jordan, football.[citation needed]
In 1941, Al-Faisaly restarted, but they realized that they need a large budget. They decided to issue a charity lottery and set up a committee to meet with the Jordanian army chief John Bagot Glubb to obtain official approval to sell the lottery tickets to Jordanian army units. The cultural committee was active in distributing the Lottery, which resulted in the collection of 3,700 Jordanian dinars, and this amount was enough to get a piece of land next to the Islamic Scientific College "currently" in Jabal Amman near "first" circle and "rainbow" street, and intend to rebuild the club and to raise the declaration again, they had what they wanted The club returned under the name of Al-Faisaly this time.[2]

Riots
Riots have repeatedly broken out for the past years between supporters and fans of Jordan's top rival clubs Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat, which is also a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman.
