History
The current iteration of Amman FC was launched in 2021, after the Jordanian Ministry of Sport and Youth agreed on its merger with Dar Al-Dawa, whilst keeping the name of the former.{{cite web |title=https://رياضة-fc-يظهر-رسميا-في-دوري-الأولى-لكرة-القدم |url=https://alrai.com/article/10604953/%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B6%D8%A9/%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A-%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-fc-%D9%8A%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%84%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%AF%D9%85 |website=alrai.com |publisher=Al-Rai |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=5 September 2021}} That merger allowed Amman FC to participate in the Jordan League Division 1 for the first time as a club.{{cite web |title=رياضة-fc-يظهر-رسميا-في-دوري-الأولى-لكرة-القدم |url=https://alrai.com/article/10604953/%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B6%D8%A9/%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A-%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-fc-%D9%8A%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%84%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%AF%D9%85 |website=alrai.com |publisher=Al-Rai |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=5 September 2021}}{{cite web |title=نادي عمان FC يظهر رسميا في دوري الدرجة الأولى |url=https://www.kooora.com/?n=1065270 |website=kooora.com |publisher=Kooora |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=5 September 2021}}
Amman FC took this step as a part of its greater sports strategy to enhance the role of all age group teams and give young players the opportunity to play within the ranks of the first team. The merger also takes into consideration within its strategy the interest of the national teams to represent them in foreign forums.{{cite web |title=نادي عمان FC يظهر رسميا في دوري الدرجة الأولى |url=https://www.kooora.com/?n=1065270 |website=kooora.com |publisher=Kooora |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=5 September 2021}}
In preparation for the 2022 season, Amman FC hired Amer Deeb as their technical director, as well as Qusai Abu Alieh as their head coach.{{cite web |title=عامر ذيب وقصي أبو عالية مدربين لعمان FC |url=https://www.khaberni.com/news/%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1-%D8%B0%D9%8A%D8%A8-%D9%88%D9%82%D8%B5%D9%8A-%D8%A3%D8%A8%D9%88-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-FC-455510 |website=khaberni.com |publisher=Khaberni |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=30 September 2021}} Deeb replaced former technical director Bassam Abu Razouk, who resigned from the role.{{cite web |title=عامر ذيب وقصي أبو عالية مدربين لعمان FC |url=https://www.khaberni.com/news/%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1-%D8%B0%D9%8A%D8%A8-%D9%88%D9%82%D8%B5%D9%8A-%D8%A3%D8%A8%D9%88-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-FC-455510 |website=khaberni.com |publisher=Khaberni |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=30 September 2021}}
During the 2022 season, Amman FC had made club history by reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 Jordan FA Cup. However, they were defeated 3–0 by Shabab Al-Aqaba, who themselves made history reaching the final of the competition.{{cite web |title=العقبة يهزم عمان.. ويحقق إنجازا لأول مرة في تاريخه |url=https://www.kooora.com/?n=1187360 |website=kooora.com |publisher=Kooora |access-date=7 September 2024 |language=Arabic |date=9 November 2022}}
