Kuala Lumpur: With the draw for the Women's Asian Cup 2018 Jordan on December 9, the-AFC.com starts the countdown by profiling hosts Jordan, who are set to create history next April.
Head coach: Michael Dickey (USA)
Current FIFA ranking: 50
AFC Women’s Asian Cup appearances: 2014
Best finish: Group stage (2014)
Whatever the result in next April’s tournament, Jordan will make history by becoming the first West Asian nation to host the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, but they are also aiming to become the first team from the region to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Jordanians have been one of Asia’s busiest women’s national teams in 2017, featuring in no less than 14 ‘A’ internationals, in addition to friendlies against club teams from the United States and France.
Despite qualifying automatically as hosts, Jordan participated in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup qualifiers in Tajikistan where they racked up 37 goals on their way to five consecutive wins and top spot in Group A.
