Jordan's earthquake

Jordan is in the World Cup for the first time.

In the early morning of June 6, the Jordanian team defeated the host team Oman with a score of 3-0, officially creating a brilliant milestone in the history of the West Asian country's football. With 16 points, coach Jamal Sellami and his team firmly held the second position in the group, just behind South Korea (19 points) and 4 points ahead of the third-placed team Iraq. This is the first time in history that Jordan has qualified for the final round of a World Cup.

This success is not surprising when looking at the development journey of Jordanian football in recent years. At the 2023 Asian Cup, Jordan caused a stir when it successively defeated strong opponents such as Iraq, Tajikistan and especially South Korea to advance to the final match. Although only finishing second to host Qatar, this achievement still left a deep impression on Asian fans.

Previously, Jordan had left regrets when they were bitterly defeated by the Vietnamese team on penalties in the round of 16 of the 2019 Asian Cup. At that time, Jordan played explosively in the group stage, even surpassing Australia and Syria to win first place in Group B.

In the 3-0 victory over Oman in the early morning of June 6, Jordan's squad gathered many faces that shined at the 2023 Asian Cup final. Notably, the attacking trio Olwan, Al Naimat and Al Ta'mari.

This "trio" scored a total of 24 goals and were all in the top 10 of the 2026 World Cup qualifying Golden Boot race. The most prominent was Olwan with 9 goals, ranking fourth in the scoring list. Al Naimat and Al Ta'mari also contributed 8 and 7 goals respectively.

However, Jordan's strength lies in the compactness of its three-man defense. The ability to launch attacks well from the back three allows the team to transition quickly, creating fast and lightning-fast counterattacks.

In recent major tournaments, Jordan has always gone deep, showing a fiery fighting spirit and high discipline.

Jordan, along with Uzbekistan, Japan, South Korea and Iran, are the official Asian representatives to have won tickets to the 2026 World Cup. Now, fans are waiting for Jordan to continue to create surprises at the biggest tournament on the planet in the US, Mexico and Canada.
