Jordan's Potential Lineup to Face Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup
The Jordan national team faces the final match of the 2026 World Cup group stage with the mission of bidding farewell with dignity against Argentina. With Musa Al-Taamari as their star player, the Asian side will seek to compete against the reigning world champions in Dallas.
Jordan arrives at this match already eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, but with the opportunity to play one of the most important matches in their recent history. The team led by Jamal Sellami showed personality during the group stage, although their lack of experience on the biggest stages ended up being the deciding factor. The defeats against Austria and Algeria left the Asian side without a chance to advance, but they also highlighted a competitive and well-organized team.
The main offensive reference will be Musa Al-Taamari, a player capable of creating imbalances in one-on-one situations and generating danger on counterattacks. Along with Ali Olwan and Mahmoud Al-Mardi, he will attempt to exploit the spaces that might be left by an Argentina side that will feature numerous rotations after securing the top spot in Group J.
Jordan's Potential Lineup
Tactical System: 3-4-2-1
- Goalkeeper: Yazeed Abulaila
- Defenders: Abdallah Nasib, Yazan Al-Arab, Husam Abu Dahab
- Wing-backs: Ehsan Haddad and Mohammad Abu Taha
- Midfielders: Noor Al-Rawabdeh and Nizar Al-Rashdan
- Attacking Midfielders: Mahmoud Al-Mardi and Musa Al-Taamari
- Forward: Ali Olwan
In defense, Yazan Al-Arab will lead a three-center-back line that will have the difficult task of containing Julián Álvarez, Nico Paz, and Giuliano Simeone. The work of wing-backs Haddad and Abu Taha will be fundamental to closing down spaces and supporting offensive transitions.
Beyond the result, Jordan approaches this match with the objective of leaving a competitive impression and demonstrating that they can stand their ground against one of the great powers of world football. The duel in Dallas represents a historic opportunity to measure the growth of Jordanian football on the most important stage on the planet.
