The past Jordanian national team players enjoyed their country's first ever World Cup finals by performing a "horse dance."
Jordan beat Oman 3-0 on the 6th (Korea time) at Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman, thanks to Aliad Olwan's hat trick in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.
With a complete victory over Oman, Jordan secured a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals in North Korea and the U.S.
South Korea was largely influenced by Jordan's decision to advance to the World Cup finals. On the same day, South Korea's national soccer team, led by coach Hong Myung-bo, defeated Iraq 2-0 in the ninth Group B match of the third qualifying round.
As of the end of Game 9, South Korea ranked first in Group B with 19 points (5 wins, 4 draws), and Jordan ranked second with 16 points (4 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss).
Iraq, ranking third in Group B, maintained 12 points (three wins, three draws and three losses) as it lost the match against Korea. As a result, even if Jordan lost in the 10th round, the final round of the third round of the preliminary round, it would not lose to Iraq, and thus secured at least the second place.
According to the rules of the tournament, the top two teams in the group will go straight to the World Cup finals. In other words, South Korea and Jordan made it to the 2026 North-China World Cup finals with the final match remaining.
As South Korea defeated Iraq after winning the match against Oman, Jordan will participate in the World Cup finals for the first time in its football history.
FIFA also said, "Jordan will make history and advance to the first World Cup," adding, "They will make their 2026 North-China World Cup debut with a 3-0 victory over Oman."
"Jordan's advance to the World Cup finals was confirmed by South Korea's 2-0 victory over Iraq," he added.
Jordanian players are now in a festive mood after making it to the World Cup finals. A video clip of them dancing to Jordanian players' "Gangnam Style" song, including Yazan who plays for K League 1 FC Seoul, was uploaded on social networking services (SNS), drawing attention.
Yazan, who plays as a key defender for FC Seoul, is also a defensive player for the Jordanian national soccer team. He started in the match against Oman and played full time, contributing to his country's 3-0 complete victory. 안전놀이터
