Doqarah Sports Club (Arabic: نادي دوقره الرياضي) is a Jordanian football club based in Duwaqarah, Irbid Governorate, Jordan. It currently competes at the Jordanian First Division League, the second tier of Jordanian football.

They host a variety of sports. In addition to football, they have a handball team, a kickboxing team, as well as a women's team.

History

The social and cultural club was founded in 1990, where it serves various cultural activities throughout the year, as well as sports activities for the Duwaqarah [ar] community.

In early 2007, Club President Mohammad Al-Shaloul was reported to have waited 5 years for financial support from the Crown, to which they never received back.

On 14 August 2022, Doqarah gained promotion to the 2023 Jordanian Second Division League from the 2022 Jordanian Third Division League, after beating Kufranjah 1-0 in a quarter-final matchup.

On 30 August 2023, Doqarah beat Balama in the 2023–24 Jordan FA Cup 4–1 in the preliminary round.

Doqarah had what was initially seen as a successful 2023 Jordanian Second Division League season, as a team that was immediately promoted from the Third Division League. They had beaten Jerash 1–0 on aggregate, to advance to the final of the competition, meaning that Doqarah was meant to participate in the Jordanian First Division League for the upcoming season, which was seen as a dream for the club.

However, on 18 December 2023, Jerash filed a complaint to the Jordan Football Association's Disciplinary Committee, due to alleged foul play on Doqarah's end throughout the two-legged affair. The hearings from both clubs lasted for months, to which eventually on 4 June 2024, the JFA ruled in favour of Jerash, and gave harsh penalties to Doqarah, including demoting them back to the Jordanian Third Division League, as well as promote Jerash to the 2024 Jordanian First Division League in their place. Doqarah eventually went on to beat Al-Karmel 5–1 at Al-Hassan Stadium in the final, to win the league that season.

Other major penalties include Doqarah being stripped of their most recent league trophy. Club President Mohamed Al-Shaloul was deprived from participating in any football-related activity for two years and fining him an amount of (10,000) dinars, as well as fine Doqarah SC an amount of (15,000) dinars and withhold any participation revenues Doqarah would have gotten from their past season.

Doqarah appealed the ruling from the Jordan Football Association's Disciplinary Committee, to which the JFA's Appeals Committee decided to "rescind the decision issued by the Disciplinary Committee to relegate Doqarah SC to the Jordanian Third Division League in light of audio recordings of a complaint filed by Jerash".

On 27 December 2024, the Jordan Football Association reversed their decision on Doqarah to relegate them, as well as allow them to participate in the 2024 Jordanian First Division League.
