History

Sama Al-Sarhan SC was founded in 1977, and is a club that has provided various cultural, social and sporting services to the Sama Al-Sarhan community in Badiah Gharbiyah.^[4]

Sama Al-Sarhan competed in the 2008 Jordanian Third Division League, which included five other sides from the Mafraq Governorate.^[5]

Sama Al-Sarhan was noted to have been invited to a training camp hosted by Saudi club Al-Orobah, with President Abdullah Al-Sarhan stating the importance of such co-operations for the club.^[6]

On 6 March 2011, Sama Al-Sarhan once again participated in a training camp abroad, this time hosted by Syrian club Al-Shouleh in Daraa. The camp was led by Iraqi manager Abdul Rauf Auf and his assistant Sami Al-Sarhan.^[7]

Sama Al-Sarhan was noted to have been playing in the 2012 Jordanian Second Division League.^[8]

Sama Al-Sarhan then participated in the 2013 Jordanian First Division League.^[9] That season saw a riot break out between two Mafraq-based fanbases in Sama Al-Sarhan and Balama, where the two fanbases threw stones at one another, leading to the use of a tear gas, as an attempt to break up and disperse the riot.^[10] Sama Al-Sarhan also achieved a 0-0 draw against Al-Hussein during the first leg of the 2013–14 Jordan FA Cup.^[11] However, they were eliminated in the second leg at the round of 16 of the competition.

On 6 October 2020, Jordanian Minister Yousef Hassan Al-Issawi inaugurated the Sama Al-Sarhan Stadium, which was funded as a part of a combination of royal initiatives and governmental efforts.^[12]

Sama Al-Sarhan was among the participants of the 2020 Jordanian First Division League, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan.^[13]
