Meanwhile, the results of the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, which concluded recently, were not included in the current edition of the international ranking, and therefore the results of the Jordanian participation were not reflected in the positions listed therein.
During the tournament, the national team won five medals: a gold medal for Fadia Khuffash, and four bronze medals for Saleh Al-Sharabaty, Zaid Mustafa, Mohammad Al-Adarbeh, and Jaafar Al-Daoud.
The next ranking will be issued according to the periodic schedule adopted by the World Taekwondo Federation, and the positions will be updated after including the results that meet the calculation criteria, including the results of the Nagoya Asian Games.
