Team News

Both managers enjoy full squads with no injuries or suspensions reported before kick-off. Jordan’s coach Jamal Sellami favors a three-man defense with wing-backs supporting midfield. Algeria’s Vladimir Petković employs a four-man backline with dynamic attackers leading the line.

Jerseys

Jordan wear their home kit featuring white shirts with red diamond patterns on the sleeves inspired by the traditional keffiyeh scarf, paired with white shorts and socks accented in red.

Algeria don their away kit in green shades reflecting their national flag colors. The shirt has dark green sleeves and standard green torso, highlighted by red trims and the Algerian flag crest on the chest instead of the usual federation logo. Shorts and socks match the darker green tone.

Group J Context

A draw leaves both teams needing big results in their final group games. Another loss could end one side’s tournament run early.
