The highest FIFA ranking Jordan has ever reached was 37th in August 2004. It is noted that some of the players of Jordan are of Palestinian origin; those that came from, or first played in, or have been playing in Al-Wahdat or Al-Baqa'a SC, which are two football clubs in Jordan formed by Palestinian refugee camps.

), how he improved Jordan's national team and made preparations for 2010 and 2011, and how Jordan feels about being placed in Group B of the 2011 Asian Cup, along with Asian champions, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Adnan Hamad first answered, "Well, to start off with, I have been coaching Jordan since 2009. My staff, the previous head coach of Jordan, and I had picked up some young players of Jordan who had participated in the 2007 U-20 World Cup, basically almost the whole squad; and also kept some of the oldest players of Jordan who had participated in the 2004 Asian Cup, and those who make great performances in the Jordan national league". He said he had prepared Jordan with many Friendly matches from 2009–2011 and the WAFF 2010
, which he said was the first stage of their plan for preparations; and with some training sessions. He said he was not particularly worried about the result of Jordan only drawing both their group-stage matches with Syria and Kuwait and failing to progress to the semifinals. He said, "I was using that tournament to work on team tactics and to get the players to raise their own standards" Hamad said, "Our place in the 2011 Asian Cup will be a tough and challenging one for us. But if we start well, I believe we can make it past the group-stage. Our players are confident, and we have a great team spirit". But coach Hamad also believes that Jordan can play a lot better at their home stadiums, seeing how the players are pretty much used to playing at their stadiums and receiving much support from their fans. Some of the oldest players of Jordan who have participated in the 2004 Asian Cup have all been interviewed for their experiences back in 2004 and in their qualification for the Asian Cups.
