The Jordanian national football team, Al-Nashama, has launched its technical and physical training camp in Doha as preparations intensify for the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025.
The team held its first training session Saturday evening at Al-Aqla Stadium under head coach Jamal Selami, with all players from the final squad present.
Jordan’s 23-man squad combines experienced players with rising talents, and the tournament is seen as a key stepping stone toward the Kingdom’s historic first-ever participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Tough Group Draw for Al-Nashama
Jordan faces a challenging path in Group C, which includes UAE, Egypt, and Kuwait (qualified through the playoff).
Their group-stage fixtures are:
- Jordan vs UAE – 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 3 – Al-Bayt Stadium
- Jordan vs Kuwait – 2:00 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6 – Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium
- Jordan vs Egypt – 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 9 – Al-Bayt Stadium
A Historic Presence in the Arab Cup
This year marks Jordan’s 10th appearance in the Arab Cup, more than any other Arab national team, since its debut in 1963 in Lebanon.
The tournament also coincides with a historic milestone: Jordan has already secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the first time, becoming the first Arab team to clinch a spot at the tournament.
