The Jordan national football team is struggling with the impact of time difference in World Cup 2026. Last result: Jordan 0-0 Algeria (2026-06-23).
What happened?
The time difference between Jordan and the host countries of the 2026 World Cup, America, Canada, and Mexico, has imposed a new reality on fans and cafe owners alike.
As most matches are held in the early morning hours in Jordan, the usual fan gatherings that filled cafes in Amman and other provinces during previous World Cups have declined.
Why does this matter for the Jordan national football team?
Despite the great enthusiasm that accompanies the historic participation of the Jordanian team in the finals, the match schedule has posed an obstacle for many fans, especially those working in the private sector who are tied to early work hours.
What comes next?
Citizen Ghazi Faisal believes that Jordanians are known for their great passion for football and sports in general, but work requirements remain a priority for many.
| Match | Date | Result |

Cafes are losing their World Cup bet due to the time difference. Cafe owner Faras Al-Awneh confirms that fan attendance has declined this year due to the match schedule.
