Austria return to the World Cup after a 28-year absence under Ralf Rangnick, whose high-pressing style has transformed the national team since Euro 2024. Captain David Alaba is fit to lead the side alongside Konrad Laimer, Marcel Sabitzer and veteran striker Marko Arnautović. The main absentee is attacking midfielder Christoph Baumgartner, who misses the tournament through injury, but otherwise Austria have a fully fit squad. Rangnick confirmed he has settled on his starting XI and expects Jordan to defend deep and look to counterattack.
Jordan make their first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance under head coach Jamal Sellami. Captain Ehsan Haddad says the squad feel pride rather than pressure, while Sellami plans to stick to the counter-attacking approach that carried Jordan through qualification. Winger Mousa Al-Tamari is the team's biggest attacking threat, with Ali Olwan expected to support him after recovering from recent fitness concerns. Jordan's only notable absentee remains striker Yazan Al-Naimat, who has been sidelined by injury.
