The national team's world cup journey faced significant hurdles. They lost all three of their matches in the tournament, scoring three goals and conceding eight. Their last defeat was a 3-1 loss to Argentina on June 28, 2026. These results form part of a broader negative streak, with Jordan losing their last five matches consecutively.
