The Jordan national football team (known by its fans as Nashama) is the national team of Jordan and is controlled by the Jordan Football Association. They have never made the World Cup. The team has improved since Egyptian head coach Mahmoud El-Gohary took over in 2002, and with him they qualified for their first Asian Cup in 2004. In June veteran coach Mahmoud El-Gohary resigned from his position as head coach of the Jordanian national football team. No reason was given for his resignation but it was not unexpected since he failed to take the team to the Asian Cup in 2007 and he didn't manage to win the WAFF Championship 2007 which was held in Jordan the same year. After the resignation of El-Gohary several coaches were approached to take on the position as the new head coach of the Jordanian national football team and at last the JFA signed a contract with portuguese coach Nelo Vingada. Nelo Vingada is Jordans new hope to get to the World Cup in 2010 which will be held in South Africa. The best FIFA ranking ever that Jordan team reached was the 37th in August 2004.
