No team in this World Cup arrives lighter than Jordan. Al-Nashama had never qualified before, reaching only the intercontinental play-off across three previous cycles, and now they walk in straight off the shock of their lives: a run to the 2024 Asian Cup final, lost 3-1 to Qatar but earned along the way. Hussein Ammouta, the Moroccan-born coach who engineered that surge, asks for the same things he always has, a stubborn defensive block and the speed to break from it. Out wide, Musa Al-Taamari of Montpellier gives them a genuine European-club edge, with Yazan Al-Naimat the man trusted to finish. Drawn in Group J alongside Argentina, Algeria, and Austria, they are the side with zero expectation and every incentive. A point off Algeria or a tight game with Austria would be remembered for a generation.
