Jordan's squad list for the 2026 World Cup.
Striker Yazan Al Naimat is absent due to injury, but captain Ehsan Haddad is included in the preliminary 30-player squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026 announced by coach Jamal Sellami. Star striker Mousa Al Tamari is the most notable name.
The Jordan Football Association (JFA) has officially announced its preliminary 30-player squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This marks the first time in history that the Jordanian national team has qualified for the World Cup – a proud milestone for the football of this West Asian nation.
Forward Mousa Al Tamari – a star currently playing in Europe – is the most prominent name on the list. This player is expected to be the driving force of the "Nashama" team (the nickname of the Jordan national team, meaning "brave boys") at the biggest tournament on the planet.
Bad news for Jordan fans is the absence of key striker Yazan Al Naimat. He suffered a knee injury at last year's FIFA Arab Cup and will not recover in time to be included in the 2026 World Cup squad.
Conversely, captain Ehsan Haddad has officially been recalled after nearly a year sidelined by injury. The return of the defensive leader will bring crucial morale and confidence to the Jordan team, especially as they face strong opponents in the group stage.
