Kit of the Day #42: Jordan — First World Cup, First-Class Kit

Jordan’s first World Cup on the back of an Asian Cup final run. Deep maroon kit, proud crest, and a squad that earned every second of this qualification. Day 42 of Kit of the Day.

From Asian Cup final to World Cup debut

Jordan reached the 2023 AFC Asian Cup final and used that momentum to secure their first-ever World Cup qualification. It is one of the cleanest fairy-tale routes of the cycle.

The design

Deep maroon home shirt with a small white trim at the collar and sleeves, and a redesigned crest featuring the country’s seven-pointed star. Understated but premium, with the weight and feel of a much bigger footballing nation.

Who to watch

Musa Al-Taamari (the winger most European clubs tried to sign), Yazan Al-Naimat, and goalkeeper Yazid Abulaila. The core of the squad has been together through the Asian Cup run and knows how to grind out tournament matches.

Why you should care

Jordan sit in Group J alongside Argentina — one of the great potential upset matches of the group stage. Their kit will be on global TV during a game millions will watch. Historic shirt, historic moment.
