• The Jordan Football Association Lays a New Foundation for Women’s Football

In a strategic move aimed at sustaining women’s football and supplying national teams with fresh talent, the Jordan Football Association (JFA) announced the launch of the first phase of comprehensive technical trials for young prospects born in 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Specialized Coaching and Record Participation These trials are conducted under the direct supervision of U-17 women’s national team coach Luna Al-Masri, supported by her technical staff.

The recent sessions have drawn significant participation, with 209 players from a wide range of clubs and football schools divided into three technical stages to ensure each talent receives adequate time to showcase her physical and tactical skills.

Notably, this edition of the trials includes players from nine prominent women’s clubs: Orthodox, Al-Ittihad, Amman FC, Al-Nasr, Al-Hussein, Nashami Al-Mustaqbal, the English School, Al-Istiqlal, and Al-Ahli. Current U-17 national team members are also participating alongside promising newcomers, creating a highly competitive and developmental environment.

A Roadmap to Asian Championships The JFA emphasized that these trials, continuing until February 4, are part of a broader “development plan” that includes intensive training programs and local friendly matches.

The initiative aims to monitor players year-round, identifying emerging talents for inclusion in national teams, preparing them for key upcoming competitions such as the West Asia U-17 Championship and the Asian qualifiers scheduled for October.

Talent Development and Building Identity Beyond selecting players, the trials focus on nurturing Jordanian talent physically, technically, and mentally. Special attention is given to the physiological and psychological characteristics of young athletes, with structured local and international match exposure to strengthen their experience.

With this initiative, the Jordan Football Association is building a new pillar for women’s football, relying on the 2010-2012 generation as the core of the senior women’s national team in the coming years, demonstrating that the path to international success begins at the grassroots with professional systems that cultivate talent from an early age.
