Kuwait seeks to achieve its first victory when it hosts Jordan, runner-up in Group Two, at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in the sixth round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in football.
“Blue” enters the match coming from a logical loss at home to South Korea 1-3 last Wednesday, noting that its last victory over Jordan dates back to the year 2014 with a goal by Youssef Nasser.
The Kuwaiti national team – which is seeking a second qualification for the World Cup after the first in Spain in 1982 – will miss Sami Al-Sanea and Moaz Al-Asmaa due to the accumulation of cards, in exchange for the return of Ahmed Al-Dhafiri, who missed the match against South Korea for the same reason.
As for Jordan – which excelled in the last Asian Cup and bowed only to the Qataris in the final – it did not forget, under the leadership of Moroccan coach Jamal Al-Salami, the shaky start against Kuwait in particular in Amman (1-1), so Tuesday’s confrontation is considered crucial to consolidating the chances and moving forward towards the first qualification for the tournament. World Cup.
The Jordanians are counting on the deadly attacking line represented by Musa Al-Taamari and Yazan Al-Naimat, while there is doubt about the participation of Ali Alwan after his ankle injury worsened.
