About Jordan
Jordan make their historic World Cup debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing one of the most exciting qualification stories from the Asian confederation. The Nashama, coached by Moroccan-born tactician Hussain Ammouta, exceeded all expectations by reaching the 2023 AFC Asian Cup final before losing to Qatar. Jordan's squad is built on collective organisation and the attacking flair of Sporting CP's Musa Al-Tamari, who can frighten any defence on his day. Group J against Argentina, Austria, and Algeria is the toughest possible introduction to the World Cup stage, but Jordan's debut caps a remarkable decade of growth for football in the Hashemite Kingdom.
Team Base Camp
🇺🇸 USA
Base camp
Portland, Oregon
Al-Nashama base at the University of Portland's athletic campus. First WC for Jordan, and the Pacific Northwest climate is dramatically cooler than Amman, helping with training intensity.
Per FIFA regulations (§18.3), Jordan stays at this base camp for the entire group stage and travels to each match venue one day before kickoff (and returns the same night or the next day).
Distance to each group-stage match
Straight-line distance from Portland to each match stadium. Actual travel adds airport time on flights.
