Team: Jordan

Jordan make their first ever World Cup appearance, earning one of the most historic qualifications in Asian football during the 2026 cycle. The Nashama developed into one of AFC's most improved national teams across the qualifying campaign, combining defensive organization with effective attacking play on the counter. Jordan's journey to the World Cup reflects investment in youth development and coaching infrastructure that has paid off at the best possible moment. Playing their first ever World Cup in North America, Jordan carry the hopes of a nation experiencing a genuine football breakthrough, backed by passionate support and a determination to prove they belong at the highest level.

Jordan qualified for their first ever World Cup on 5 June, defeating Oman 3-0 in Muscat on the same day that Iraq lost to Korea Republic, confirming the Nashama's historic place in the field.
