Argentina will close the group stage of the 2026 World Cup this Saturday against Jordan in Dallas with first place in Group J already secured. The Albiceleste won their first two games against Algeria and Austria, so they will face this match without pressure in the standings.
With qualification guaranteed, Lionel Scaloni will take advantage of the match to rest several starters and test alternatives in his lineup, including Lionel Messi in the starting XI. The coaching staff seeks to manage the physical loads before the round of 32 duel.
The current world champion has already defined his rival in the next round. Argentina will face Cape Verde next Friday, July 3 in Miami in search of a ticket to the round of 16.
For Jordan, the match represents the last chance to say goodbye to their first World Cup with a memorable performance. Although they no longer have any options to advance, the Asian team will try to surprise an Argentina that will present several changes to its starting eleven.
