Manager

• R. Rangnick

• J. Sellami

Austria are managed by Ralf Rangnick, who names a projected XI featuring Alexander Schlager in goal, a back four of Philipp Lienhart, David Alaba, Stefan Posch, and Konrad Laimer, with Romano Schmid, Marcel Sabitzer, Michael Gregoritsch, Nicolas Seiwald, Xaver Schlager, and Marko Arnautovic completing the lineup. No injuries or suspensions have been confirmed ahead of the match.

Jordan are managed by Jamal Sellami, with Yazeed Abulaila expected to start in goal behind a defence of Saleem Obaid, Yazan Abu Al-Arab, Abdallah Nasib, and Nizar Al Rashdan. Mohannad Abu Taha, Ehsan Haddad, Noor Al-Rawabdeh, Ali Iyad Olwan, Odeh Fakhouri, and Mousa Tamari make up the rest of the projected XI. No injuries or suspensions have been reported for the Jordanian squad at this stage.

Match Summary

Austria kicked off their World Cup campaign with a hard-fought 3–1 victory over tournament debutants Jordan at a packed Levi's Stadium. Under Ralf Rangnick, the European side imposed a heavy high-pressing game early on, breaking a 28-year World Cup drought when Romano Schmid curled a stunning strike into the top corner in the 21st minute.

Jordan responded with immense heart early in the second half, punishing an Austrian turnover as Ali Olwan scored a historic, first-ever World Cup goal for his nation. Austria faced further frustration when a Marko Arnautović goal was chalked off by VAR, but the pressure finally told when a Marcel Sabitzer corner was deflected into the net for a Yazan Al-Arab own goal. Arnautović eventually put the game to bed deep into stoppage time, converting a clinical 102nd-minute penalty to hand Austria all 3 points in Group J.

Match Timeline

• 21' Goal (Austria): Romano Schmid turns fluidly at the top of the box and unleashes a beautiful shot into the top corner following an accurate setup pass from Xaver Schlager. (AUT 1–0 JOR)
• 46' Substitution (Austria): Marko Arnautović enters the match, replacing forward Saša Kalajdžić at the break.
• 50' Goal (Jordan): Jordan forces an Austrian turnover. Noor Al-Rawabdeh spots Ali Olwan with a long pass down the left flank. Olwan cuts inside and drills a shot off the far right post and into the net for a historic equalizer. (AUT 1–1 JOR)
• 58' Triple Substitution (Austria): Looking to regain control, Rangnick brings on Carney Chukwuemeka, Kevin Danso, and Paul Wanner for Xaver Schlager, David Alaba, and Phillipp Mwene.
• 68' VAR Decision (Austria): Marko Arnautović pushes the ball over the line from close range, but following a lengthy review, the goal is ruled invalid for a preceding infringement.
• 71' Substitution (Jordan): Salim Obaid replaces defender Mohammad Abualnadi.
• 76' Own Goal (Austria): Right after the VAR setback, Austria earns a corner. Marcel Sabitzer strikes it deep into the box, and it takes an unfortunate deflection off Jordan defender Yazan Al-Arab into his own net. (AUT 2–1 JOR)
• 77' Yellow Card (Austria): Marcel Sabitzer receives a caution from the referee.
• 80' Substitution (Jordan): Saed Al-Rosan enters the match for Abdallah Nasib.
• 81' Substitution (Jordan): Mahmoud Al-Mardi replaces defender Ihsan Haddad as Jordan shifts shapes offensively.
• 82' Substitution (Austria): Goalscorer Romano Schmid leaves the pitch to a standing ovation, replaced by Patrick Wimmer.
• 87' Substitution (Jordan): Star forward Musa Al-Taamari is replaced by Mohammad Al-Dawoud.
• 88' Substitution (Jordan): Ali Azaizeh replaces Odeh Al-Fakhouri.
• 90+12' Penalty Goal (Austria): Following a late VAR review that awards a penalty, veteran striker Marko Arnautović steps up calmly to blast the ball home and seal the win. (AUT 3–1 JOR)

The match has reached halftime at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Austria leads 1–0 after an intense first 45 minutes of action in this opening Group J fixture.

4/5

Austria arrive in strong form, recording four wins and one draw from their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 friendly victory over Tunisia on June 1, 2026, and they also beat South Korea by the same scoreline in March. The most eye-catching display came in a 5-1 win over Ghana, while their only dropped points across the five games was a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in World Cup qualifying last November. Austria scored nine goals and conceded three across that run.

Jordan's recent record makes for harder reading. Sellami's side have taken two draws and suffered three defeats in their last five outings, with no wins recorded. Their most recent game ended in a 2-0 loss to Colombia on June 7, and they were beaten 4-1 by Switzerland in late May. Draws against Nigeria and Costa Rica in March provided some encouragement, but Jordan conceded 11 goals across those five matches while scoring seven.

Weather

For kickoff at Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, CA), the confirmed weather conditions are 19°C and clear, with northwest winds at 5 mph and a 0% chance of rain. It will be a cool, comfortable evening perfectly suited for football.

Confirmed Kits

Austria (Puma)

Austria is wearing their official 2026 World Cup Home Kit.

• Design: The jersey stays true to the nation's bold red identity but introduces a major twist: black sleeves feature on the home jersey for the first time in their kit history.
• Details: The cuffs feature red, white, and black nodding to the national flag. Under the back collar, it features the proud slogan “Immer wieder Österreich” ("Austria, again and again").
• Complete set: Red jersey, black shorts, and red socks.

Jordan (Kelme)

Making their historic World Cup debut, Jordan is sporting a bespoke collection from the Spanish-Chinese brand Kelme.

• Design: The official Home Kit features a clean white base highlighted by a highly distinct sleeve pattern.
• Details: The sleeves are covered in numerous small red diamonds, drawing direct inspiration from the kufiya (the traditional Middle Eastern scarf that serves as a massive cultural symbol of national pride).
• Complete set: White jersey with red diamond details, white shorts, and white socks.

Head-to-Head Record

No previous meetings between Austria and Jordan are recorded in the available data. Tuesday's fixture at Levi's Stadium will be the first encounter between these two nations.

Possible Qualification to next stage

In Group J, Austria currently sit third and Jordan fourth ahead of the opening round of matches.

Group J Scenarios

As this is the opening fixture of Group J (which includes Argentina and Algeria), the scenarios following the final whistle are straightforward:

• If a team wins: They will secure 3 points and tie for the top of the group with the winner of the Argentina vs. Algeria match, putting them in an excellent position to reach the knockout stages.
• If they draw: Both Austria and Jordan will walk away with 1 point. This keeps the group wide open but forces both sides to fight for critical points against Argentina and Algeria in the remaining group games.
• If a team loses: They drop to the bottom of the group with 0 points, completely erasing their margin for error for the final two matches of the group stage.
