Jordan will become the first Middle East nation to host a top Asian women’s football tournament when it holds the next Women’s Asian Cup in 2018, officials said. 
Chairwoman of the Asian Football Confederation’s (AFC) women’s football committee Moya Dodd called the decision a 'geographical landmark'. 
"Jordan have proved they are worthy hosts of the next edition of the AFC Women’s Asia Cup Finals," Dodd said in an AFC statement. 
"This decision marks a geographical landmark, being the first time a member association from the West Zone will have hosted a senior AFC women’s tournament," she added. 
Jordan are also hosting the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup later this month.
