Ittihad Al-Ramtha was noted to have participated in the 2014–15 Jordan FA Cup, where it only consisted of Jordanian Pro League sides during that time period.[8][9] It also made efforts to sign new players to contracts for that season.[10] Ittihad Al-Ramtha had attempted to sign striker Khaled Qwaider to the club, as they were searching for a striker. However, he rejected the offer, as he had hoped the club would consider him at the beginning of the season, instead of going for foreign-based attackers.[11] Ittihad Al-Ramtha were officially relegated to the 2015-16 Jordanian First Division League on 20 April 2015, finishing bottom of the table.[12]

Ittihad Al-Ramtha had lost one of their league games to Al-Jalil. due to a Disciplinary Committee decision which awarded Al-Jalil a 3-0 win. Ittihad Al-Ramtha also incurred a 1500 dinar fine.
