The Jordan national football team, known as the Nashama (the Brave Ones), represents the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in international football and is governed by the Jordan Football Association. Based in Amman, the team plays its home fixtures primarily at Amman International Stadium, a government-owned venue with a capacity of around 17,619 that has served as the country's principal football ground since the late 1960s.
Jordan entered the international football scene as a relatively modest force within the Asian Football Confederation, spending much of its early history outside the spotlight of continental competition. Gradually, the national side began to assert itself in AFC qualifying campaigns, drawing on a domestic league structure that produced competitive clubs such as Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat — a rivalry that, in its own way, reflects the broader social fabric of Jordanian society, with Al-Wehdat drawing support primarily from Palestinian-origin communities and Al-Faisaly from East Bank Jordanians.
The team's most celebrated recent achievement came at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, where Jordan reached the final for the first time in their history, marking a landmark moment for football in the country. Their performances in World Cup qualification have also grown more credible over successive cycles, demonstrating that Jordanian football has developed genuine competitive depth.
In the current decade, the national team continues to build on that 2023 breakthrough, aiming to qualify for a first-ever FIFA World Cup finals. The Nashama carry the hopes of a young football nation whose passion for the game is reflected in the growing quality of its domestic league.
