Jordan at World Cup 2026

Jordan are in Group J alongside Argentina, Algeria, and Austria. It is a demanding section, but one that gives Jordan the chance to test themselves against three very different footballing styles.

Jamal Sellami is Jordan's manager for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His task is to organize a first-time World Cup squad around compact defending, transition play, and the attacking quality of Mousa Al-Tamari and Yazan Al-Naimat.

No. The 2026 tournament is Jordan's first appearance at a FIFA World Cup finals. The national team had come close before, most notably in the qualification cycle for 2014, but 2026 marks their historic breakthrough onto the global stage.

Jordan's most important players include winger Mousa Al-Tamari, striker Yazan Al-Naimat, attacking midfielder Mahmoud Al-Mardi, holding midfielder Nizar Al-Rashdan, and goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila. Al-Tamari is the standout star and the player most capable of changing a match in transition.

Jordan will be outsiders in a group that includes world champions Argentina, a strong Algeria side, and an intense Austria team. But tournament football often rewards structure, discipline, and efficiency, and Jordan have already shown in Asian competition that they can frustrate stronger opponents and take chances when they arrive.
