Al-Wahdat SC (Arabic: نادي الوحدات) is a sports club founded in 1956 and located in the Amman New Camp (A Palestinian refugee camp). In football, it has a fierce rivalry with long-time local rivals Al-Faisaly Club (Amman). The club has won the Jordanian league eleven times and the Jordanian cup seven times. There are several other sports offered in this club, such as volleyball, basketball, and table tennis.
The fans of Al-Wahdat are mainly Palestinian immigrants, Palestinian Refugees, or people of Palestinian origin though born in Jordan, the fierce rivalry with Al-Faisaly has long been marred by violence, with many fan on fan, fans on players, or player on player clashes in the past. The most recent incident in December 2010 (Wahdat beating Faisaly 1-0 at the final whistle) when Faisaly fans threw Rocks over the stands while leaving the stadium, Wahdat fans trying to Escape the ground desperately were mistooken for a out of control hooligan crowd by police, and clashes occurred. The fans eventually broke down the fence separating the stands from the pitch then broke free.Though sometimes thought to be a racist rivalry with much secretarian hatred between Jordanians and Palestinians, it truly is just a popularity contest of the 2 greatest teams in Jordan, with the mass success fueling the passion, hatred and emotion. Due to the 2 horse race nature of the league, it has been like that for a very long time.
As of 2011, Wahdat are the champions of all 4 Domestic competitions in Jordan for 2011, after successfully wrestling back the league title from Faisaly (2010 Champions), Also recently as of 2011, Wahdat nearly reached the final of the AFC cup for the first ever time, but were Narrowly knocked out by Nasaf Qarshi of Uzbekistan 2-1 on aggregate.
