Jordan has secured a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Jordan is placed in Group J, alongside Portugal, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, according to the official draw conducted on April 1, 2026.
This marks Jordan's first appearance in a FIFA World Cup. The team qualified through the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) qualifying rounds, finishing second in their group behind Saudi Arabia. Key players include forward Mousa Al-Tamari and midfielder Noor Al-Rawabdeh.
Group J matches are expected to be highly competitive. Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, is a traditional powerhouse, while Mexico has a strong World Cup history. Saudi Arabia, like Jordan, is an emerging Asian force. Jordan's opening match is against Saudi Arabia on June 15, 2026, in New York.
