Jordan sit in Tier 5 of our Goal Rush competition at £4m per slot, the lower band reserved for the lowest pre-tournament projections on the card. Group J features Argentina as heavy favourites, but Austria and Algeria present competitive matchups. It's a challenging draw that reflects their entry-level pricing, though their historic first World Cup appearance carries weight regardless of results.

Form & Qualifying

Jordan reached the 2026 World Cup as AFC third-round Group B runners-up on 5 June 2025 under Jamal Sellami. Jordan's qualifying campaign was defined by defensive pragmatism. They posted the lowest average possession of any Asian qualifier, a deliberate choice rather than a limitation. Sellami's back-three system collapses into a 5-4-1 when defending, designed to win duels and trigger fast breaks on transition. It's a direct, counter-attacking blueprint that positions Jordan to compete through discipline and efficiency in Group J.

Jordan's preliminary squad

Jamal Sellami's preliminary 30-man squad will be cut to a final 26 by FIFA's 2 June deadline. Captain Ihsan Haddad anchors the defence, while the midfield balances control with directness. The forward group carries experience across multiple club levels, with the squad built around Sellami's defensive system and counter-attacking approach.

Jordan's Group J fixtures

Jordan's three Group J fixtures begin with Austria on 16 June at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, followed by Algeria on 22 June at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and Argentina on 27 June at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

How far can Jordan go at the World Cup?

Jordan's Tier 5 status and Group J draw position them as clear underdogs in their historic first World Cup. Austria offers a realistic opening opportunity, but Algeria and Argentina will test their system significantly. Sellami's 5-4-1 defensive shape and counter-attacking blueprint will be essential if Jordan are to create any upsets in the group stage.
