From nowhere
to the world stage
A few years ago, the idea of Jordan at a World Cup was fantasy. Then came a fairytale run to the 2024 Asian Cup final, and now a first-ever World Cup. Al-Nashama's rise is one of the great modern football stories.

Jordan had never threatened to reach a World Cup. Then, at the 2024 Asian Cup, a fearless side knocked out South Korea in the semi-final and reached the final — losing only to hosts Qatar. It announced a generation that refused to know its limits.
That belief carried into qualifying, and Al-Nashama — the Chivalrous Ones — sealed a first-ever World Cup. Drawn with holders Argentina, Algeria and Austria in Group J, they're rank outsiders. But this is a team that has already made a habit of the impossible.

No silverware yet — but a stunning Asian Cup run and a historic first World Cup qualification.

Class of 2023
Jordan had no single towering legend before 2023 — and then a whole team became one. The squad that reached the 2024 Asian Cup final, beating South Korea along the way, rewrote what the nation believed was possible.
Musa Al-Tamari's brilliance and Yazan Al-Naimat's goals turned Al-Nashama from also-rans into continental finalists, and then into World Cup qualifiers.
This generation is the legend Jordan never had — the team that took the country to places its football had only dreamed of.

A debutant's group of names: Austria, Algeria, and the holders Argentina. Jordan are rank outsiders — but they've spent two years proving outsiders can dream.

A first World Cup, in a group with the holders. Simply competing is history; points would be a bonus against this field.

YAZAN AL-NAIMAT
The finisher · Al-Ahli · No. 9
Al-Tamari creates the magic; Yazan Al-Naimat finishes it. The striker whose goals fired Jordan to the Asian Cup final, he's the man trusted to take the rare chances a debutant will get against Group J's heavyweights. If Jordan writes a historic line in its first World Cup, expect his name on the goal.
