Jordan

Jordan's national team has emerged as one of West Asia's most improved sides, riding a wave of momentum from its historic run to the 2023 Asian Cup final. The Chivalrous Ones play with organized defending and disciplined counter-attacking football, and the program's breakthrough has energized football fandom across the country. Jordan is now firmly established among Asia's rising, ambitious footballing nations.

The Jordan Football Association was founded in 1969, and the national team spent decades outside the region's elite tier before its landmark run to the 2023 AFC Asian Cup final, its first-ever appearance in a major tournament final, where it lost 3-1 to host Qatar. That run also propelled Jordan to its first-ever World Cup qualification for 2026. The program has yet to win a major trophy but is widely viewed as one of Asian football's fastest-rising sides.
