Etihad Club (Arabic: نادي سيدات الاتحاد) is a women's football club based in Amman, Jordan. The club plays in the Jordan Women's Pro League, the top tier of Jordanian women's football.
History
[edit]The club was originally founded in 2018 under the name 6 Yard Football Academy, aimed at nurturing young talents in sports.[1] In July 2019, Joel Cornelli, a Brazilian coach, took on the role of manager of the academy, with Stephanie Al-Naber and Hebah Fakhereddin as assistant coaches.[2] Two years later, the club achieved the Division 1 title in their first participation, securing promotion to the Jordan Women's Football League, rebranding as Etihad Club in 2022.[1] In July 2023, Cornelli transitioned to coaching the first team during the championship round, replacing Lebanese coach Wael Gharzeddine.[3] They eventually clinched their first league title, earning a spot in the inaugural 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League and the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship.[4]
