Mousa Al Tamari headlines Jordan's final tournament squad
Jordan FIFA World Cup 2026 Team
Jordanian football officials have finalized the selection of twenty-six players destined for their first appearance on the global stage. Head coach Jamal Sellami opted for dynamic attacking depth to counter group opponents Austria, Algeria, and Argentina. Talismanic forward Mousa Al Tamari takes charge of the offensive line after scoring seven goals during domestic play with Rennes and another seven during Asian qualification matches.
Injury complications altered initial team planning significantly. Top goal-scorer Yazan Al Naimat will miss the tournament because of a severe knee injury. Balancing this loss, skipper Ehsan Haddad returns to active play following a twelve-month injury layout. Sellami aims to duplicate the defensive grit shown by his home country, Morocco, during their previous historic semi-final run.
Tactical execution relies heavily on youthful attackers like Ibrahim Sabra and Ali Azaizeh to spark goals off the bench. Experienced defender Yazan Al Arab anchors the defensive backline alongside Abdallah Nasib.
West Asian football has seen rapid growth recently, highlighted by Jordan finishing as runners-up at the AFC Asian Cup. Football enthusiasts in Odisha, who regularly follow Asian football via the Indian Super League's continental interactions, will recognize the rigorous tactical style Sellami relies on. Friendly matches against Colombia on June 7 will provide the final evaluation for the starting eleven before tournament play begins in Group J.
