⚙️ Tactical Profile

Debutants built from the 2023 Asian Cup runners-up: a deep 5-4-1, rapid counters down the flanks, and every dangerous moment flowing through Al-Taamari. The structure is sound, the set pieces are rehearsed, and the talent gap is what it is.

🔮 Expectations

A first World Cup and a date with Messi's Argentina — Jordan wins either way. The targets are dignity, a first point, and Al-Taamari introducing himself to a global audience. The Argentina match will be the most-watched 90 minutes in the country's history.
