The Jordan women's national football team (Arabic: منتخب الأردن لكرة القدم للسيدات) is the official women's national football team of the country of Jordan. The team was established in 2005, and is controlled by the Jordan Football Association (JFA), the governing body for football in Jordan.

Whilst the team has yet to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup, they took part in the AFC Women's Asian Cup in 2014 and 2018, failing to qualify past the group stage on both occasions. Jordan are regulars at the WAFF Women's Championship, and have won a record five titles.

History

The team was founded in 2005 (2005) and in spite of not having many players to choose from won the West Asia Women's Championship in their inaugural appearance.[3] Prince Ali Bin Hussein directly supports the team and was instrumental in lifting FIFA's ban on headscarves in 2018.[4]

Jordan hosted the 2018 Women's Asian Cup, becoming the first Arab country to host the tournament.[5] It also hosted the 2017 Women's U-17 World Cup.[6]
