Jordan, Al-Nashama ('The Brave Ones'), are one of Asian football's great rising stories, a counter-attacking, set-piece-savvy side that has steadily climbed the continental ladder. Inspired by creative star Musa Al-Taamari, the Jordanians have captured the imagination of the Middle East.
Jordan are set to make their World Cup debut at the 2026 finals, the crowning achievement in the nation's footballing history. After reaching the final of the 2023 Asian Cup, they sealed automatic qualification by finishing second in their group behind South Korea — a historic first that places them among a select group of Middle Eastern nations to reach the World Cup through the traditional route. Drawn alongside Argentina, the Brave Ones aim to emulate Morocco's 2022 heroics on their maiden appearance.
