Moroccan Coach Jamal Sellami Guides Jordan to Historic First World Cup Qualification

The Moroccan manager Jamal Sellami has steered the Jordanian national squad to their inaugural qualification for the FIFA World Cup, ensuring their spot in the final stages with one round still left in the qualifying process. This landmark accomplishment followed a decisive 3–0 win against Oman on Wednesday.

Following Jordan's confirmation of their qualification, they saw their main competitors suffer a loss, with Iraq being defeated 2-0 by South Korea. This outcome not only secured Jordan's place but also ensured that South Korea earned their spot in the finals.

After the most recent set of games, South Korea tops the table with 19 points, trailed by Jordan with 16 points. Iraq has accumulated 12 points, Oman holds 10 points, and Palestine is at 9 points.

Sellami assumed leadership of the Jordanian national team from Moroccon coach Hussein Ammouta, who had earlier guided Jordan to their inaugural Asian Cup finals appearance.
