Ramtha's Fresh Start: Two Key Players Depart as the North Jordan Club Reboots
12 November 2025
A Strategic Refresh
Ramtha Football Club officially announced the mutual termination of first-team contracts with Anas Abu Taima and Robert Odu, a move aligned with management's plan to reorganize the squad for forthcoming domestic commitments.
In a statement released on Wednesday evening, the club thanked the players for their efforts and wished them continued success in their future endeavors, whether in Jordan or abroad.
The club stressed that the decision was reached in a spirit of mutual respect after cordial discussions about the players’ futures and the club’s plans for the next phase.
The development forms part of a broader policy to refresh the squad by bringing in new elements capable of meeting supporters’ expectations and aligning with the management’s ambitions in domestic competitions.
Anas Abu Taima had previously donned the Al Ahli and Shabab Al-Aqaba jerseys, while Nigerian Robert Odu joined Ramtha at the end of August and had not scored a goal during his time with the club.
Odu also previously played for Reno Stars in Nigeria and had spells in the Lebanese league and the Saudi Yelo league.
The Ramtha leadership reiterated a clear, measured plan to rebuild the squad technically and physically in close coordination with the coaching staff, with decisions based on performance evaluations rather than external pressures.
Rumor Control and Official Communications
In parallel, Ramtha issued a stern warning against a “systematic campaign” conducted by certain websites, social media pages, and some media personalities intended to undermine the club’s internal stability.
The club urged fans to rely exclusively on official channels for transfer updates and administrative announcements to avoid confusion and disinformation.
With a long history and a large supporter base, Ramtha currently sits second in the Jordanian league after ten rounds, just one point behind the leaders.
Known as the Gazelles of the North, Ramtha was founded in 1966 and remains a club rooted in tradition while seeking to balance heritage with fresh talent for the upcoming season.
Ramtha’s decision to renew the squad mirrors the club’s ambition to maintain its status in Jordanian football, while upholding the values that have defined its identity through the years.
And as the season approaches, a renewed squad will either roar back or stumble—either way, the fans will be watching closely and hoping for a performance that justifies the rebuild. Punchline time: if patience is a virtue, Ramtha just filed for a speed limit extension; and if humor counts as extra time, the crowd will be laughing all the way to the scoreboard. Punchline 2: they say new blood brings energy—let’s see if it also brings late goals and early confetti for the terraces.
