• This camp represents a key step for “Al-Nashama” to test their abilities and fine-tune the ideal squad ahead of the biggest football event in the world.

The Jordanian national team is set to hold an internal camp during the international break at the end of March, including two friendly matches, as part of an intensive preparation for the 2026 World Cup scheduled for June.

According to available information, Peru will be “Al-Nashama’s” first opponent in the friendly match at Amman International Stadium, while the Jordanian Football Association is seeking to arrange a second friendly against a team from a different continent, with prior discussions reportedly held with the Slovenian federation.

Challenges and Preparations

Head coach Jamal Salami faces several challenges for the upcoming camp, mainly covering the absence of striker Yazan Al-Naimat and defender Adham Al-Quraishi due to injuries, as well as the continued absence of current top scorer Ali Alwan, who suffered an injury with Al-Sailiya and is expected to be sidelined for three months.

Their absence has led Salami to closely monitor local professional league matches to identify the best alternatives before entering final World Cup preparations.

Jordanian Stars Abroad

The team relies on several Jordanian players abroad, most notably star Musa Al-Tamari, winger for Rennes, who recently scored the winning goal against European champion Paris Saint-Germain (3-1) and earned the Man of the Match award.

International Standing and Group

“Al-Nashama” currently ranks 64th globally in the latest FIFA ranking and is drawn in Group 10 of the World Cup alongside defending champions Argentina, Algeria, and Austria.

Peru, meanwhile, failed to qualify for the World Cup after finishing ninth in South American qualifiers and currently ranks 55th globally. They also missed the Qatar 2022 edition, though they remain a possible opponent for Senegal during the upcoming international break.

This camp represents a crucial step for “Al-Nashama” to test their squad and finalize the lineup ahead of football’s biggest stage.
