In 12 November 2020, Olwan made his international debut with Jordan national team in a goalless friendly draw against Iraq.
On 4 September 2021, Olwan scored his first international goal against Bahrain at the Bahrain National Stadium. On 6 October 2021, Olwan scored his first professional career hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Malaysia at the Amman International Stadium.

In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup that reached the final.[11] He started in all three group stage games and then in two knockout stage games against Iraq and Tajikistan, before missing out the semi-finals due to yellow card accumulation.[12] Despite having no goals during the competition, Olwan's ability to hold the ball and dribble in tight spaces made him a threat to the opponent's defense, liberating spaces for his teammates to score.[13]
On 5 June 2025, he netted his second international hat-trick in a 3–0 away win over Oman during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, securing his nation's first-ever participation in the FIFA World Cup.[14][15]
