committee has decided to grant three local clubs the Asian Football
Confederation’s (
AFC) club licensing to three women’s teams for the 2021
season.

The Amman, Orthodox and Ahli clubs have all received their AFC license for the
very first time, which will allow them to take part in continental
championships if they meet the confederation’s licensing requirements, which
include athletic, infrastructural, administrative, legal and financial
criteria.
All three clubs have managed to make the AFC’s list of
professional women’s clubs in Asia.
The
JFA attributed the achievement to recent and ongoing
cooperation with the AFC, noting that it will go into effect with the beginning
of the 2021 season.
The JFA had previously visited the Kingdom’s women’s clubs to propose the
prospect of pursuing an AFC license and has said that it will be working closely
with these clubs to ensure that they abide by continental federation’s
membership standards.
In the past, the AFC has paid special attention to women’s
football, having organized championship across age groups, both within Jordan
and in the region. The AFC hosted the 2018 Asia Women’s Cup in 2018 and has
more recently hosted the Jordanian Women’s Pro League.
