A patriotic Jordanian, businessman, athlete, social and political activist, Wael Al-Shuqairat has quietly devoted himself to his country. Without seeking recognition or reward, he has proven himself a true national figure of distinction.

Al-Shuqairat is known as a passionate supporter of sports, specifically Hussein Irbid Club and the national team. His dedication has extended beyond words, as he has provided substantial financial support over the years. Yet, he remains modest, avoiding self-promotion or public acknowledgment, viewing his contributions as a duty towards his country and its youth.

A prominent figure in Irbid and across Jordan, Al-Shuqairat has leveraged his extensive network of connections locally and internationally to attract investments and serve his community. He has carried the concerns of Irbid on his shoulders without expecting a title or compensation. Working from behind the scenes, he has created job opportunities through various projects, supporting dozens of Jordanian families. His focus remains on ensuring these opportunities benefit deserving Jordanians.

Known as “Abu Saleh,” the former president of Hussein Irbid Club, he is a man who stands by others in their time of need. He forgave the club’s debts of over 300,000 dinars in a single gesture, and his support continues, often unnoticed. His contributions extend to Jordan’s national football team, where he has supported its journey from the Asian Cup to the present day, playing a role far beyond his position on the Football Association’s board.

Since joining the association, Al-Shuqairat has maintained impartiality toward all clubs while upholding his promises and delivering tangible results.

This is Wael Al-Shuqairat—a man whose impact on Jordan, particularly in sports and the local community, stands out. His contributions have left a lasting imprint, reflecting a legacy of love and loyalty to his country.
