Jordan secure first-ever FIFA World Cup qualification

Jordan made history on Thursday, earning their first FIFA World Cup qualification with a dominant 3-0 victory over Oman.

This decisive win of Jordan's national team, 'The Nashama', achieved on the second to last matchday of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 tournament, secured Jordan's second-place finish in Group B.

The match was held at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, with Jordanian player Ali Olwan scoring all three goals for the team.  

Jordan’s Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II was also seen at the match supporting the team alongside his brother Prince Hashem bin Abdullah.

The result also confirmed South Korea's qualification, as third-placed Iraq's 2-0 defeat to South Korea ensured Iraq could no longer overtake Jordan.
