AMMAN — Ahli beat Shabab Urdun 1-0 to win their first Jordan Cup title on Friday, ending the 2015-2016 season. Ahli advanced to the final after they beat titleholders Faisali 1-0 in Leg 1 and drew 0-0 in Leg 2. A long-time veteran and founder of the game in Jordan, Ahli were relegated to Division 1 in 2004 for the first time in their history.

They were back among the Jordan Professional League clubs in 2014, finished 5th in 2015 and third in the league this season as Shabab Urdun finished fifth. Ahli will receive JD45,000 for the win, play in the Asian Cup and take on Wihdat in the Super Cup at the beginning of the next season.
