In May 2015 Al-Nahar played for Amman Club in a 5–3 win over rivals Shabab Al-Ordon, which secured the Jordan Women's Football League title.[2]

International career

As a 15-year-old Al-Nahar was included in the Jordan national team squad who were beaten 13–0 by Japan at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha.[3]

In 2011 Al-Nahar and her father were outspoken critics of FIFA's ban on hijabs.[4] Two years later she got six goals as Jordan "hammered" Kuwait 21–0 in 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification.[5]

During Jordan's victorious 2014 WAFF Women's Championship campaign, Al-Nahar scored four goals in a 7–0 win over Qatar[6] and finished as the tournament top scorer. At the 2014 Asian Games she was shown a red card in Jordan's 2–2 draw with Chinese Taipei.[7]
