History

Established in 1944, Al-Ahli is considered to be one of the oldest sports clubs in Jordan.^[5] Represented by the Circassian community under the initial name of Koban Club, their current name was honourably given by the late king Abdullah Bin al Hussein I.^[6] It launched its basketball program in 1953, making Al-Ahli the first Jordanian club to do so.^[7]
