Al-Ahli Sport Club (Arabic: النادي الأهلي كرة السلة الأردني), also known simply as Al-Ahli or Al-Ahli Amman, is a Jordanian basketball club based in Amman.

History

Established in 1944, Al-Ahli is considered to be one of the oldest sports clubs in Jordan. Represented by the Circassian community under the initial name of Koban Club, their current name was honourably given by the late king Abdullah Bin al Hussein I. It launched its basketball program in 1953, making Al-Ahli the first Jordanian club to do so.
