They have never qualified for the World Cup finals. Jordan won their group in the 2001 Millennium Super Cup, following victories over Hong Kong and a Romanian Football League XI. They were elimated by a Japanese University team.

Under Egyptian head coach Mahmoud El-Gohary, who took over in 2002, they qualified for their first Asian Cup in 2004. El-Gohary resigned from his position after failing to reach the 2007 Asian Cup, and replaced by Portuguese coach Nelo Vingada. The best FIFA ranking the Jordan team has reached was 37th in August 2004.
