Portland, June 17 (Petra) — National football team head coach Jamal
Sellami expressed pride in his players’ performance despite their
defeat to Austria, saying the team delivered a strong display and
showed its readiness to compete at the highest level during the 2026
FIFA World Cup.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Sellami said the players
produced an outstanding performance against a strong opponent and
successfully executed both their defensive and attacking
responsibilities throughout the match.

He noted that the team’s display reflected its preparedness and
determination to present Jordanian football in a positive light on
the global stage.

“We have turned the page on the Austria match, and our focus is now
on the upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina,” Sellami said.
“We are counting on our Jordanian supporters, who backed us in the
stadium and provided the players with a significant morale boost to
perform at their best.”

The national team delegation is scheduled to return to its base in
Portland on Wednesday to continue preparations for its remaining
Group J fixtures.

Jordan will face Algeria at 6 a.m. Jordan time on Tuesday, June 23,
at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, before concluding its group-stage
campaign against Argentina at 5 a.m. Jordan time on Sunday, June 28,
at Dallas Stadium.
