Jordan's National Football Team Secures Historic Qualification for 2026 World Cup
The team's qualification marks a significant achievement, leading to substantial financial rewards from FIFA.
The Jordanian national football team has achieved a historic milestone by qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history.
This achievement is seen as a pivotal moment for Jordanian football, opening the door to considerable financial incentives from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
According to established financial regulations by FIFA, each team that qualifies for the World Cup is granted an initial contribution of $1.5 million.
This amount is disbursed before the tournament begins, intended to cover expenses related to training camps, travel, and logistical preparations associated with the team's participation.
Upon competing in the tournament, the Jordanian team is guaranteed a minimum of $9 million as a reward allocated to teams participating in the group stage, regardless of whether they advance to the knockout rounds.
Consequently, the total financial package that the Jordanian Football Association will receive is set to reach $10.5 million.
This funding represents a significant opportunity for the association, as it could aid in enhancing the infrastructure of national teams and long-term player development programs.
Furthermore, it has been reported that these funds will be transferred to the national association rather than directly to the players or coaching staff, unless the association chooses to allocate part of the funds as special bonuses within its internal distribution system.
