With five goals in two matches — a hat-trick against Algeria and a brace against Austria — Lionel Messi is on fire at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Argentina have already secured their spot in the knockout stage and face Jordan, a World Cup debutant, on Saturday, June 27 to close out the group phase. Expect a spectacle.
Match Context
Argentina arrive at this final group stage match with the pressure off: qualification is done and they sit top of the group. The real question is whether Scaloni will field his strongest XI or rest key players ahead of the knockout rounds. Either way, with Messi on the pitch, no match is worth skipping.
Jordan, on the other hand, are writing history. It is the first time the Jordanian national team has ever qualified for a FIFA World Cup, and they close their group stage campaign against the reigning world champions. A tall order — but a remarkable stage for Middle Eastern football.
Argentina and Jordan have never met before, in any competition or friendly. June 27 will mark their very first encounter — one of many historic matchups made possible by the expanded 48-team World Cup format.
