Preview: Colombia vs Jordan prediction, odds, where to watch, time | International Friendly
Can Los Cafeteros get the better of debutants Jordan in their final game before the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, USA, gears up to host the international friendly fixture between American powerhouse Colombia and 2026 FIFA World Cup debutants Jordan.
Who can forget that famous chest and volley goal from James Rodriguez against Uruguay in the FIFA World Cup 2014? Colombia had a historic run in that edition before the hosts, Brazil, knocked them out in the quarterfinals. However, in the last edition, the former Copa America winners failed to even qualify.
But the story is very different in 2026. Many feel that Colombia have one of the best squads on paper ever and has a realistic chance to do the unthinkable. They are drawn alongside Portugal, DR Congo and Uzbekistan in Group K of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Meanwhile, Jordan is enjoying the time of their lives after their golden generation created history by qualifying for their first-ever FIFA World Cup. Apart from that, the Arab nation also reached the finals of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. They will be keen to make their debut memorable.
However, the Chivalrous Knights have recently come after a thrashing from Switzerland, which served as a reality check. After all, they must adapt to the raw pace of non Asian teams. They are led by Moroccan gaffer Jamal Sellami.
Some of their players, like Al Tamari and Sabra, play in European leagues.
Kick-off:
- Location: San Diego, California, USA
- Stadium: Snapdragon Stadium
- Date: Monday, June 8
- Kick-off time: 4:30 a.m. IST
- Referee: TBD
- VAR: In use
Players to Watch
Luis Diaz (Colombia)
From being spotted in an indigenous tournament by Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama, who found him malnourished, to being predicted as one of the dark-horse contenders for Colombia in the FIFA World Cup 2026, Diaz’s story is nothing less than inspirational.
He made a high-profile switch from Liverpool to Bayern Munich. He is coming after an extraordinary season for the Bavarians. He had a record-breaking 45 goal contributions in 51 games for Bayern this season.
The second-highest scorer in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, Diaz is one of the best players to watch out for in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Mousa Tamari (Jordan)
The Jordanian Messi will be up against Lionel Messi soon in the World Cup 2026. The first-ever Jordanian football player to play and score in the French top flight, Tamari is coming after a brilliant season with Rennes. He helped them secure UEFA Europa League football.
He had 15 goal contributions in over 35 games for Rennes. Tamari is in sublime form. His heroics against South Korea in the AFC Cup Semi-Finals took Jordan to the finals.
From playing street football on the rough concrete spaces of Amman as a boy to making history by taking Jordan to their first-ever World Cup, Tamari has come a long way.
