Al-Nashama (The Chivalrous)
Jordan qualify for their first World Cup, building on a fairy-tale run to the 2023 Asian Cup final. It marks a historic high point for the nation's football.
Jordan’s group path
Jordan starts in Group J with Argentina, Austria, Algeria. They enter the group as the #4 team by MatchupSim power rating, which makes the finishing position especially important: first place, second place and a possible third-place route can each send them into a very different round-of-32 matchup.

Prediction angles to test
