Jordan began their FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers with a solid 74-59 home win over Syria on November 28, 2025. The 15-point victory provided Jordan with a perfect start to their campaign, built on a foundation of strong defense and efficient scoring. Jordan set the tone defensively, limiting Syria's offensive options and converting turnovers into easy baskets in transition. Their lead grew steadily through the middle quarters as they shared the scoring load among multiple players. Syria found moments of success driving to the basket but lacked the consistent outside shooting to mount a serious comeback against Jordan's organized defense. This win gave Jordan crucial early points and positive momentum as they navigated a challenging group, establishing themselves as a serious contender for a World Cup berth.
