History
editAl-Wihdeh is a club that represents Madaba Camp, a Palestinian refugee camp within Jordan.[2] As a sports, cultural and social club, they have aided refugee children in the area to help support the opening of the Madaba Girls School Learning Support Centre, coordinating with the UNRWA.[3] They have put out other initiatives that go beyond football, such as hosting poetry events or military camps to further benefit their community.[4][5][6][7][8]
While it had a strong foundation as a club, it realized on 6 October 2019 that it needed to better promote the youth, including the promotion of sports clubs to the community.[9] Among other initiatives, Al-Wihdeh pledged to support 12 cultural sports clubs with 80,000 Jordanian dinars.[10]
As a football club, Al-Wihdeh was noted to have been led by manager Qusay Al-Faqha, during the 2022 Jordanian Second Division League season.[11]
