The Jordan national football team (Arabic: منتخب الأردن لكرة القدم) represents Jordan in men's international football. It is under the jurisdiction of the Jordan Football Association.

Nicknamed "Al Nashama" (lit. 'The Chivalrous Ones'),[5] Jordan has appeared in five AFC Asian Cup tournaments, achieving its best result in the 2023 edition by reaching the final and finishing as runners-up. The team also finished runners-up at the FIFA Arab Cup in 2025, won the Arab Games in 1997 and 1999, and reached the WAFF Championship final on three occasions. In 2026, Jordan qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history.

History

Early history (1953–1996)

The Jordanian national football team's first international match was played in 1953 in Egypt where the team were defeated by Syria 3–1. The first FIFA World Cup qualifiers Jordan took part in were for the 1986 tournament. They failed to qualify for the World Cup in 1986.

Development era (1997–2007)

Mohammad Awad coached Jordan to two Arab Games championships, in 1997 in Beirut, and 1999 in Amman. The country then hired Serbian head coach Branko Smiljanić, who won two matches in the first round of 2002 World Cup qualifiers. Jordan failed to qualify for the next round. Jordan also reached the semi-finals of the 2002 Arab Cup.[6]

Under the leadership of Egyptian Mahmoud El-Gohary, the Jordan national team was able to qualify for their first AFC Asian Cup tournament, in 2004, and reach the quarter-finals, where they lost to eventual winners Japan in a penalty shoot-out. Despite this, Jordan reached their highest-ever FIFA world ranking, at 37th place; they would eventually fail to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

In the 2004 and 2007 WAFF Championships, Jordan finished in third place in the former and made another semi-final in the latter. Five matches into 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualification, El-Gohary retired as a football coach, and the Jordan Football Association hired the Portuguese Nelo Vingada to take over as the head coach of Jordan; they still missed the finals.

Renaissance of Jordan football (2008–2015)

Under Vingada, Jordan were runners-up in the 2008 West Asian Football Federation Championship, but failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was replaced by Iraq's Adnan Hamad, a coach in Asia known for his successes with his national team in Iraq as head coach as well as Iraq U-23 and other Iraq youth teams and clubs. Jordan qualified for their second Asian Cup tournament in 2011, where they made the quarter-finals before losing to Uzbekistan 2–1. Jordan also finished runner-up at the 2011 Arab Games in Qatar. In 2013, Jordan ended up third in their qualifying group for the World Cup the following year.

Another Egyptian, Hossam Hassan, led Jordan to the play-off against Uzbekistan to determine the AFC participant in the inter-confederation play-offs. With the two teams still evenly matched at full-time in the second leg, Jordan eventually progressed to the intercontinental playoff after winning 9–8 on penalties. The Jordanians missed their first FIFA World Cup debut after losing 5–0 on aggregate to Uruguay.

Jordan qualified to the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. On 3 September 2014, Ray Wilkins was appointed as the new head coach. Wilkins led Jordan to a group stage exit at the Asian Cup after losses to Iraq and Japan and a win over Palestine.

Stagnation (2016–2023)

Jordan failed to make the final round of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, losing 0–1 to Kyrgyzstan and 1–5 to Australia. They would qualify for the 2019 Asian Cup where Jordan defeated Australia 1–0 and Syria 2–0, along with a draw against Palestine in the group stage. They were knocked out by Vietnam, losing in a penalty shootout 2–4.

In the 2022 World Cup qualification second round, Jordan finished third in their group. Subsequently, they clinched the top spot in their group during the 2023 Asian Cup qualification, earning themselves a berth in the main tournament.

Re-emergence and golden generation (2024–present)

Jordan's starting 11 against South Korea in the 2023 Asian Cup

In June 2023, Hussein Ammouta was appointed as the Jordan national team coach.[7] In early 2024, he led his squad to their first ever Asian Cup final, after defeating Iraq 3–2 after scoring two goals during stoppage time, and beating Tajikistan 1–0 and South Korea 2–0 during the knockout stages. In the final, Jordan lost 3–1 to the host nation Qatar.[8] Following the national team's historic run to the Asian Cup final, Jordan's FIFA ranking rose to 70th, the nation's highest since September 2014.[9][10]

In June 2024, Ammouta requested to leave Jordan due to family reasons and was replaced by Jamal Sellami, who signed a three-year contract.[11][12] On 5 June 2025, Jordan secured a berth at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, their first ever, with a 3–0 away victory over Oman.[13][14][15]

In December 2025, Sellami led Jordan to their first ever FIFA Arab Cup final. Jordan went unbeaten up until the final, beating the United Arab Emirates 2–1, Kuwait 3–1, Egypt 3–0, Iraq 1–0 and Saudi Arabia 1–0. In the final, Jordan lost 3–2 to Morocco.[16] Following the historic run in the Arab Cup, His Majesty Abdullah II granted Sellami with Jordanian citizenship.[17]

2026 FIFA World Cup

Before heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Jordan hosted the 2026 edition of its Jordan International Tournament as preparation.[18] The tournament was moved from Amman to Antalya, Turkey due to the 2026 Iran war.[19][20] Jordan drew 2–2 to both Costa Rica and Nigeria.[21] They later faced Switzerland in St. Gallen and Colombia in San Diego, marking Jordan's ever ever match in North America.[22]

Jordan entered the 2026 FIFA World Cup as debutants, alongside Uzbekistan, Curaçao, and Cape Verde.[23][24][25] They play their debut match on 18 June at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, losing 3–1 to Austria. Ali Olwan scored the country's first-ever World Cup goal.[26] They later faced Algeria and suffered a 2–1 defeat, eliminating them from knockout stage contention.[27] Their final match was against the 2022 FIFA World Cup world champions Argentina, scoring one goal from Musa Al-Taamari and conceding three goals, one from Lionel Messi.[28] Jordan became the first team to score against Argentina this World Cup and are the first debutants to score in all three matches since Ivory Coast at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

The stadium is also home to Al-Faisaly.[29] Other stadiums that Jordan occasionally plays at include King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman, home to Al-Wehdat and Petra Stadium in Amman, home to the women's national team.[30][31]

In late 2025, plans were announced for a new home stadium named Al Hussein bin Abdallah II in the new Amra City as part of Jordan's new urban and sports development initiatives. Construction is set to start in 2026 and to be completed by 2029.[32][33]
