Wihdat hit multiple targets this season by clinching the Jordan Cup title against Al-Hussein at Al-Hassan Stadium in Irbid, adding a second title for the season after winning the Super Cup against Al-Faisaly.

The first noteworthy moment was Wihdat's unique celebration, where captain Tariq Khattab lifted the trophy with bandaged hands, symbolizing full solidarity with the people of Gaza. This idea came from the club president, Dr. Bashar Al-Hawamdeh, who shed tears after the final whistle, remembering his father who had hoped to see Wihdat win the championship.

Wihdat fought hard in yesterday’s match to save their season and did not disappoint their fans who turned out in full force, occupying all allocated seats despite the boycott seen at the stands since the start of the season. The fans’ massive presence was another victory, as they kept cheering for Gaza, delivering their message.

This victory restored a lot of trust between the fans, the club’s management, and the team, which might have been affected by the team's fluctuating performance in the league. However, the trust and satisfaction were evident yesterday.

By defeating Al-Hussein, Wihdat secured their place in the AFC Champions League 2, guaranteeing a $300,000 reward for participation, along with the revenue from the crowd presence, participation in the Super Cup, and the prize money. Thus, Wihdat gained substantial financial and moral benefits, supporting their journey in the next season.

Wihdat concluded the match with a clean record, showing exceptional commitment both in the stands and on the field, marking a significant success. The most crucial aspect was the unity and love evident between the fans, club president Bashar Al-Hawamdeh, and the management.

Overall, Wihdat had a very successful season, winning two titles, while Al-Hussein and Al-Faisaly each secured one. Wihdat surpassed their direct rival Al-Hussein despite all the financial support and efforts from its president, Amer Abu Ubaid.
