Match preview
Jordan face Argentina in the group stage Group J of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Sunday, June 28, 2026. The match kicks off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, United States, a venue with a capacity of 80,000.
Argentina are the higher-ranked side on paper (FIFA #1) facing Jordan (#70). The a wide ranking gap between the two sides is 69 places. This is a cross-confederation clash: AFC vs CONMEBOL.
Jordan are coached by Hussein Ammouta, while Argentina are led by Lionel Scaloni. Both managers have shaped distinct identities for their squads in the build-up to North America 2026.
In Group J, only the top two teams advance directly to the round of 32, with the third-placed team competing for one of the eight best third-place spots across all 12 groups. A result here can shape the group quickly because the expanded format leaves less recovery margin than a simple top-two table.
FIFA World Cup 2026 is the first edition with 48 teams, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. A total of 104 matches will be played, the highest in tournament history.
