World Cup dream: Jordan faces Oman in crucial qualifier match

The Jordanian national football team, known as the Nashama, stands on the brink of history as they prepare to face Oman in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match tomorrow, June 5, at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat. A victory could secure Jordan's first-ever qualification for the FIFA World Cup, a milestone that would mark a monumental achievement for the country's sports history. The match, part of the AFC third round qualifiers in Group B, kicks off at 8:00 PM local time and carries immense weight for both teams. Jordan, currently second in their group with 13 points and a +6 goal difference, is three points behind leaders South Korea. A win against Oman, combined with a loss for Iraq against South Korea in a simultaneous fixture, could clinch Jordan's direct qualification to the 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Under the guidance of coach Jamal Sellami, Jordan has shown remarkable form in the qualifiers. Their dominant 4-0 victory over Oman in October 2024 at Amman International Stadium showcased their attacking prowess, with Yazan Al-Naimat and Ali Alwan each scoring twice. Oman, sitting fourth in Group B with 10 points, is not out of the race. Managed by Rashid Jaber, the Omani side is coming off a 1-0 friendly win over Lebanon and a 4-1 thrashing of a Niger 'A' team, signaling their intent to challenge Jordan on home soil. Despite their recent loss to Jordan, Oman's solid home record, seven wins and one draw in their last ten home matches, makes them a formidable opponent. A victory for Oman, coupled with dropped points by Jordan and Iraq, could keep their hopes alive for a top-two finish and their first-ever World Cup appearance. The head-to-head record slightly favors Jordan, who has won five of their 12 encounters with Oman, including the last two matches, while Oman has secured three victories and four draws. Since their first World Cup qualifying campaign in 1986, the Nashama have come close to qualification, notably reaching the intercontinental playoff against Uruguay in 2013. Their recent performances, including a 2-0 upset over South Korea in the 2024 AFC Asian Cup semifinals and second place finish in the tournament after a loss to Qatar, have raised expectations. With FIFA expanding the 2026 World Cup to 48 teams, granting Asia eight direct qualification spots, Jordan's chances have never been better.

Ministry of Agriculture Announces Indicative Prices for Eid Al-Adha Sacrificial Animals - Jordan News

The Ministry of Agriculture has announced the opening of imports for live sacrificial animals from Syria, as part of efforts to boost supply in local markets and stabilize prices ahead of Eid Al-Adha. اضافة اعلان According to the ministry's spokesperson, Lawrence Al-Majali, in a radio statement, importing live Syrian kids (young goats) has been approved and they are now available in local markets as an option for Eid sacrifices. He added that importing live sheep from Syria is currently limited to the military institution only, noting that this decision is part of the ministry's policy to diversify sources of sacrificial animals and reduce pressure on domestic production. Al-Majali highlighted that most sacrificial animals in Jordan are of local origin, in addition to imported animals from countries such as Romania, Australia, and Spain. He emphasized that importing from Syria helps balance supply and demand during the Eid season and enhances citizens' ability to purchase sacrifices at reasonable prices. Sacrificial Animal Prices Al-Majali noted that the livestock market in Jordan is witnessing an unprecedented abundance this year, with about 580,000 heads of local and imported sheep available, while the market demand is estimated at only 250,000 to 300,000 heads. He also shared indicative prices for sacrifices: The average price for a medium-sized imported sacrifice ranges between 200 to 225 Jordanian Dinars. The local sacrifice ranges between 220 to 260 Dinars, depending on supply, demand, and availability. He clarified that these prices are indicative, not fixed, and based on market conditions. Prices usually start to drop after the afternoon of the first day of Eid and continue to decline during the following Tashreeq days. Al-Majali urged citizens to shop around and compare prices before buying, noting that there are over 400 livestock sale points in Amman alone, in addition to other sites across the kingdom.
