As Muslims prepared to celebrate Eid Al Adha, Jordanians had another reason to rejoice. For the first time ever, the Hashemite Kingdom qualified for the World Cup!
On June 5, 25-year-old striker Ali Olwan fired a hattrick, leading Jordan to a 3-0 victory over Oman. This thrilling win secured them 16 points and confirmed their ticket to next year's showpiece in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
