🌍 How did Jordan qualify for the 2026 World Cup?
Jordan didn't have too many issues en route to securing qualification for their first-ever World Cup, as they topped Group G in the second stage, finishing above Saudi Arabia on goal difference.
Their record of four wins, four draws, and two losses was enough to beat Iraq to second spot in round three of the qualifiers, meaning Jordan booked their spot alongside South Korea.
Jordan scored 32 goals across those 16 matches, which shows how they were usually efficient in the final third, and their front three will hope to make a notable impact again this summer.
👔 Who is the Jordan manager at the World Cup 2026?
Jamal Sellami has been the architect of Jordan's World Cup qualification, and he has transformed this side into real competitors. After guiding Jordan to their first ever World Cup participation and then making it to the final of the Arab Cup, Sellami was granted Jordanian citizenship as a recognition of his contributions.
He typically plays a 3-4-3 system, looking to utilise width and commit bodies forward, without compromising the defence too much - in fact, Jordan also only conceded 12 goals in their 16 qualifying matches.
🔎 Who are Jordan's key players to watch at World Cup 2026?
Mousa Al Tamari
Mousa Al Tamari finished the season for Rennes on a high, as he scored three goals in his final six appearances to conclude the campaign.
Even though it wasn’t the most prolific season for the 28-year-old, with seven goals and eight assists from 36 appearances across all competitions, he has shown that he can pose a threat going forward.
Tamari contributed seven goals and two assists in 13 appearances for Jordan during their qualifying matches, making him one of the standout performers.
Ali Olwan
Yazan Al-Naimat was perhaps the most important player for Jordan during their playoffs, and he recorded the most goal involvements with 13. However, he has been ruled out of the World Cup this summer with an injury, which is a blow.
Ali Olwan is likely to shoulder a much greater responsibility in the final third, and he was Jordan’s top scorer with nine goals during the qualifiers. He also scored six goals in six appearances in the Arab Cup, including a brace in the final against Morocco.
Yazeed Abu Laila
Yazeed Abu Laila is Jordan's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, and he started all 16 of their qualifying matches.
He was central to Jordan conceding just 12 goals in that time, and the 33-year-old is likely to have a lot to do in a tough Group J, especially when Jordan face Argentina.
Still, Abu Laila should be looking forward to playing against the top sides, and he racked up four crucial saves in the Arab Cup final against Morocco.
