Etihad Club (Arabic: نادي سيدات الاتحاد) is a women's football club based in Amman, Jordan. The club plays in the Jordan Women's Pro League, the top tier of Jordanian women's football.

History

The club was originally founded in 2018 under the name 6 Yard Football Academy, aimed at nurturing young talents in sports. In July 2019, Joel Cornelli, a Brazilian coach, took on the role of manager of the academy, with Stephanie Al-Naber and Hebah Fakhereddin as assistant coaches. Two years later, the club achieved the Division 1 title in their first participation, securing promotion to the Jordan Women's Football League, rebranding as Etihad Club in 2022. In July 2023, Cornelli transitioned to coaching the first team during the championship round, replacing Lebanese coach Wael Gharzeddine. They eventually clinched their first league title, earning a spot in the inaugural 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League and the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship.
