Amman FC was officially announced on 9 May 2015, during a ceremony sponsored by the Mayor of Amman, Aqel Biltaji. The event was attended by notable figures, including former Prime Minister Taher Masri, who sponsored the event.[3][4] Mayor Beltaji emphasized the club's role in promoting and developing Jordanian sports, particularly for youth, who are viewed as essential for societal advancement. Ghassan Nuqul, the club’s president, highlighted the commitment to fostering discipline and teamwork among young athletes, with programs available for age groups ranging from 7 to 17, as well as a special team for girls. The club aims to strengthen community ties and enhance the youth sector in Jordan.[5]
