Jordan will make its long-awaited World Cup debut against Austria in the early hours of Wednesday, June 18, 2026. Kick-off for this Group J encounter is scheduled for 04:00 GMT at the San Francisco Bay Arena in Santa Clara, California.

After decades of waiting and unsuccessful attempts, the Nashama have finally secured their first-ever qualification for a World Cup finals. This historic participation stands as one of the greatest achievements in Jordanian football history.

Austria, on the other hand, is contesting its fifth World Cup after previous appearances in 1934, 1954, 1978, and 1998. Ralf Rangnick's men are hoping to reconnect with their illustrious past and surpass their best-ever finish—third place at the 1954 World Cup.

For this fixture, FIFA has appointed Mauritanian referee Dahane Beida. Video Assistant Refereeing (VAR) will be handled by Egypt's Mahmoud Ashour.
