  • Venue Atmosphere: The game is hosted at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium (Levi’s Stadium), Santa Clara, with a lively crowd supporting both teams.

Tactical Notes and Possible Changes

No substitutions were made during the first half. Jordan may consider swapping defender Abdallah Nasib if his minor injuries worsen. Algeria might introduce creative players like Houssem Aouar or Anis Hadj Moussa to boost their attack.

Team News and Lineups

Jordan coach Jamal Sellami fields a full squad, sticking with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Key players include goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila and attacker Mousa Tamari. Meanwhile, Algeria manager Vladimir Petković also faces no injury concerns, opting for a 4-2-3-1 setup featuring Luca Zidane in goal and Riyad Mahrez leading the offense.

Confirmed Kits

Jordan wears white home kits with red diamond patterns inspired by the keffiyeh scarf, crafted by Kelme. Their shorts and socks maintain a clean white look with subtle red highlights. Algeria sports their green Adidas away kit, accented with darker sleeves and red trim, plus the Algerian flag crest on the chest instead of the federation logo. Shorts and socks match the darker green theme.

Group J Scenarios

With Argentina and Austria both holding three points, this match feels like an elimination test. A win for either side would bring them level with the group leaders and keep their knockout hopes alive.
