The team was first established in Jaffa, Palestine in 1924[2], and was re-established in Jordan in 1952 after its members fled the displacement of the Arab–Israeli War.[3] They are mainly known for their basketball team and compete in the Jordanian Premier Basketball League, where they are tied for most wins to date.
