Al-Nashama Primed for Swiss Test in High-Stakes World Cup Warm-Up

Amman, May 30 (Petra) – The Jordanian national football team faces a
major tactical litmus test tomorrow, Sunday, when they clash with
Switzerland in an international friendly at Kybunpark in St. Gallen.
Kick-off is scheduled for 4:00 PM local time as Al-Nashama enters the
final bend of their preparations for a historic debut at the 2026
FIFA World Cup.

Head coach Jamal Sellami is treating the fixture as a critical
scouting and assessment window to gauge match fitness and lock down
his tactical blueprint before the tournament kicks off.

Following the final whistle in St. Gallen, the squad will break camp
on Monday and jet off to the United States for the next leg of their
international tour. Jordan will wrap up their pre-tournament
friendlies on June 7, facing South American powerhouses Colombia in
San Diego before checking into their official tournament base camp in
Portland.

Sellami’s traveling roster features a 28-player squad competing for
final tournament spots: Yazeed Abulaila, Abdallah Al-Fakhouri, Nour
Bani Attiah, Abdallah Naseeb, Yazan Al-Arab, Hossam Abu Al-Dahab,
Mohammad Abu Al-Nadi, Saleem Obeid, Saed Al-Rosan, Ehsan Haddad, Anas
Badawi, Mohannad Abu Taha, Mohammad Abu Hasheesh, Mohammad Abu
Ghoush, Ibrahim Sadeh, Amer Jamous, Nizar Al-Rashdan, Noor
Al-Rawabdeh, Yousef Qashee, Rajaei Ayed, Mohammad Al-Dawud, Mahmoud
Mardi, Mousa Al-Tamari, Ibrahim Sabra, Awdah Al-Fakhouri, Mohammad
Abu Zrayq, Ali Azaizeh, and Ali Olwan.

This summer marks Jordan’s first-ever appearance on football’s
grandest stage. Al-Nashama faces a daunting task in Group J, where
they have been drawn alongside reigning world champions Argentina,
Algeria, and Austria.
