The Chivalrous),[2] the team represents the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in international women's volleyball competitions and friendly matches, and is controlled by the Jordan Volleyball Federation (JVF), the governing body for volleyball in Jordan.
History
Jordan became the first Arab Asian team to attempt qualification for the FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship in 2006, entering the first round of AVC qualification, where they were defeated by all four teams in their group.
In November 2022, Jordan hosted the inaugural West Asian Championship in Amman.[3] The team topped its pool with an unbeaten record, then won its quarter-final and semi-final matches before losing to Lebanon in straight sets in the final to finish as runners-up.[4][5]
In July 2023, Al-Nashmiyat participated in the women's tournament at the 2023 Arab Games in Algeria for the first time in over 20 years.[6] In which they secured their first medal in the category by defeating the United Arab Emirates in a five-set thriller to claim the bronze.[7]
