History
editShabab Al-Ordon Club Management has played an important role in its success. Furthermore, the greatest achievement of the club was in 2007 in their success in winning AFC Cup. The Red and whites have been popular for twisting and turning Al-Wehdat and Al-Faisaly title races while rarely being involved. in 2004–2007 Shabab were the most threatening, but since then, the form has dropped.[citation needed]
2007 AFC Cup
editShabab Al-Ordon qualified for the 2007 AFC Cup, Asia's second-tier club tournament (Jordanian clubs did not pass the licensing requirements to participate in the AFC Champions League and thus were transferred to the AFC Cup). Shabab Al Ordon's continental bow started with a 2–0 victory over Yemen's Al-Saqr in Group A before 1–0 and 2–0 wins over Oman's Muscat and Nejmeh of Lebanon respectively saw the Amman side on maximum points after three games.[citation needed]
The second half of the group stage was not as strong for the Jordanians as an away defeat to Nejmeh followed by a 1–1 draw with Al Saqr in Yemen saw the Lebanese side move into top spot. And it took a 2–1 victory over Muscat in the final group game to see Shabab Al Ordon advance as the best-placed runners-up in the West.[citation needed] Shabab Al Ordon was then pitted against Singaporean opposition in the last eight with Armed Forces. Shabab Al Ordon enjoyed the perfect first leg by seeing off the Singapore side 5–0 in Amman, although complacency threatened to get the better of them in the return leg before a 3–0 defeat saw them progress 5–3 on aggregate.[citation needed] Three Jordanian teams reached the last four with Shabab Al-Ordon avoiding the local derby after being paired with Nejmeh. In their third meeting of the competition Shabab Al Ordon's Odai Al-Saify scored the only goal of the game early on as the Amman side defeated Nejmeh 1–0, before a scoreless draw in the second leg in Beirut secured them a place in the final at the first time of asking.[citation needed] Al Faisaly and Al Wehdat played out a 1–1 draw in their first leg at Amman International Stadium. Some 17,000 spectators turned out for the return leg at the same venue and it was Hassouneh Al-Sheikh who was the hero, scoring the decisive goal in a 2–1 victory.[citation needed]
For the third year in a row, Al Faisaly lined up for the tournament showpiece but, for the first time, they would have to overcome Jordanian opposition in the final to lift the title. After a scoreless first half, Odai Al Saify netted the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute as Shabab Al Ordon, technically the away team, ran out 1–0 winners. Haitham Al-Shboul then cancelled out that away goal by striking early in the second leg to tie the contest at 1–1 on aggregate. But Mustafa Shehdeh equalised on the stroke of half-time and, with no further goals, Al Faisaly's reign as AFC Cup champions was ended as Shabab Al Ordon were crowned kings of the continent.[3]
