Football league season
The 2008–2009 Jordanian pro League was the 57th season of top-flight football in Jordan. From this season onwards, the name of the league has changed to the Jordanian Pro League. The championship was won by Al-Wehdat, while Shabab Al-Hussein was relegated. A total of 10 teams participated.
The league was composed of teams from various cities, each bringing their unique strengths and histories to the competition. Al-Wehdat, based in Amman and playing their home games at the King Abdullah Stadium, emerged as the Jordan League Champions, securing their 11th title and marking their third consecutive championship win. Their performance qualified them for the 2009 AFC Cup and the Arab Champions League.
Other notable teams included Al-Faisaly SC, also from Amman, who finished 2nd in the league and qualified for the same international competitions, and Shabab Al-Ordon, finishing 3rd and qualifying for the Arab Champions League. The league welcomed newcomers Ittihad Al-Ramtha and Al-Yarmouk, both promoted from the second level, adding fresh competition to the season.
Throughout the season, managerial changes were a significant subplot, particularly for Al-Faisaly, which saw a series of coaching changes, including poor performances and resignations, reflecting the high-stakes environment of top-flight football.
