On a spherical evening awaited at the “Amman International Stadium”, Jordan and Iraq meet at the end of the second stage of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup Finals, where Al -Nishami enters the meeting with memories of historical qualification, while the Mesopotamia lions seek to end the stage with a result that restores confidence before entering into the battlefield.
Al -Nishami celebrates historical qualification
The Jordanian team achieved a historic achievement by qualifying for the final round of the World Cup qualifiers, to become the No. 82 state that guarantees the presence of the World Cup. This achievement came after a series of strong offers, most notably the victory over Oman with three clean goals scored by Ali Alwan.
Under the leadership of Moroccan coach Jamal Salami, the Jordanian team continued its remarkable development since its brilliance in the Asian Cup and its final reach, as he was only one defeat in nine games in his group, achieving four victories and a draw, and scored 16 goals, while maintaining a clean net on three occasions.
Iraq is looking for balance
On the opposite side, the Iraqi team lives a clear period of decline, after receiving a new loss against South Korea with two goals without a response at the “Basra International Stadium”, a result that eliminated the hopes of direct qualification, so that the team was forced to go into the Asian attaché in its recent attempt towards the World Cup 2026.
The last match revealed a continuous defensive crisis, as Iraq’s goal received 11 goals in the last five games, compared to six previous games in which he maintained the cleanliness of its net. Coach Graham Arnold is required to reform the defensive system, and achieve a moral result that restores confidence before the separation confrontations.
Renewed historical confrontation
Although the current level varies, history shows a relative superiority of Iraq, which has only lost eight times in 48 confrontations in Jordan since 1964. But technical data are now in the interest of the Jordanian national team, which seeks to end his career at this stage with a new victory that confirms his development and enhances its position in the world rankings, where it currently ranks 62th globally.
