The Jordan national football team (known by its fans as Nashama) is the national team of Jordan and is controlled by the Jordan Football Association. They have never made the World Cup. The team has improved since Egyptian head coach Mahmoud Al jawhari took over in 2002, and with him they made their first Asian Cup in 2004. the best FIFA ranking ever that Jordan team reached was the 37th in August 2004.
On November 6, 2006, the Jordanian youth team made history by reaching the U-20 World Cup 2007 hosted by Canada. They only made it into the AFC Youth Championship held in India (which is the qualifier for the Youth World Cup) courtesy of having a superior goal difference to their rivals. At the Asian Youth Championship, a 3–0 loss to South Korea, followed by a 3–2 win over hosts India, and a 0–0 draw with Kyrgyzstan took Jordan to the knockout round. In the first knockout round, a 2–1 win over China secured Jordan's U-20 squad a spot in World Cup. Jordan went on to lose 1-0 to eventual winners Korea DPR and 2-0 to South Korea to claim 4th place.
