Faisaly continues to endure one of its toughest seasons in recent years, with a string of frustrating draws—the latest against Shabab Al-Ordon—bringing their tally to nine this season, alongside just four wins and a single defeat in 14 rounds of the Jordanian Pro League.

These numbers highlight administrative instability and financial difficulties that have distanced the team from the title race, now seemingly a two-horse contest between Ramtha and Wehdat. Faisaly, once expected to be a title contender, finds itself in an uncharacteristic struggle.

A Team Without Spirit, Plagued by Financial Woes

Adding to their poor results, sources from within Faisaly revealed to Al-Midan that player salaries have been delayed for over a month, visibly affecting performances on the pitch.

The team has looked uninspired, like a "body without a soul," raising questions about the management’s ability to resolve the financial crisis that threatens both morale and performance. Wage delays are a delicate issue for any club, let alone one of Faisaly’s stature, which relies on star players expected to deliver high-level performances. The absence of financial motivation has left many appearing unenthusiastic, directly impacting the team's overall display.

Jamal Abu Abed Under Fire: To Blame or a Victim?

Head coach Jamal Abu Abed finds himself at the centre of the storm. Fans hold him partly responsible for the team’s struggles, particularly for signing foreign players who have yet to make an impact.

Others argue he is battling factors beyond his control, particularly the financial crisis that has disrupted the squad's discipline and motivation. With tensions running high, supporters are questioning whether the team can salvage its season by competing for the Jordan Cup.

Management Distracted by Elections, Fans Losing Patience

Amid the turmoil, Faisaly’s board faces mounting criticism for prioritizing the club's upcoming elections over addressing the team’s urgent issues. With half of the board members eyeing re-election later this year, fans feel club interests are being sidelined in favour of personal ambitions, widening the gap between management and supporters.

Long considered the team’s backbone, Faisaly’s devoted fan base is reaching a breaking point, demanding sweeping changes at both the coaching and administrative levels. Frustration is mounting, and calls for a major overhaul are growing louder by the day.

A Final Chance to Salvage the Season

With the league title out of reach, Faisaly’s last hope for redemption lies in the Jordan Cup—a potential lifeline for securing Asian competition next season. However, their current form raises serious doubts about their ability to mount a serious challenge.

The coming weeks will be decisive in determining whether Faisaly can rise again or continue its downward spiral amid fan outrage and administrative chaos.
