Jordanian rugby is administered by the Jordan Rugby Union, which has been recognized by the Jordan Olympic Committee since 2007. Rugby was first introduced into Jordan by the British. Since then, it has mainly been played by expatriates from the British Commonwealth and foreign workers. Jordan maintains a close relationship with AGRFU, and their development team includes Ghaith Jalajel, a Jordanian. There are regional teams at Petra University and elsewhere. The Dubai Sevens has also helped stir up some interest in the sport in Arabic-speaking nations. Rugby union is quite popular in neighbouring Israel, but the relations between the two nations means that there is little sporting contact between them.
