Argentina vs Jordan FIFA World Cup 2026 LIVE: Argentina will face Jordan in their final Group J match in Dallas with Lionel Messi set to start on the bench as Lionel Scaloni rotates his side before the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington means more for Jordan, who have already been eliminated after defeats to Austria and Algeria. Argentina, meanwhile, have sealed top spot and a place in the Round of 32.
Scaloni confirmed that Messi could feature later in the game, but not from the start. Argentina's XI includes Emiliano Martinez in goal, with Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez leading the attack. Jordan have also made changes for their final group outing.
Lionel Messi
With qualification secure, Argentina will use this fixture to manage minutes, test combinations and keep players sharp for the knockouts. Jordan, out of the race, will be looking to finish with pride and put up a strong challenge against the defending champions.

Argentina continue to dominate possession
The Defending champions are firmly in control of the early exchanges, but they haven't been able to make their pressure count. Nicolás Otamendi gets a sight of goal, only to send his effort comfortably off target.
Jordan, meanwhile, remain disciplined at the back, staying compact and clearing their lines whenever Argentina threaten. The deadlock remains intact despite Argentina's bright start.

Argentina denied by the offside flag!
Giovani Lo Celso thought he had marked his first FIFA World Cup appearance with a goal after coolly finishing from Julián Álvarez's perfectly weighted pass. But the celebrations were cut short as the assistant referee raised the flag for offside, ruling out what would have been Argentina's early opener.

From the Record Books
For the first time in almost two decades, Lionel Messi is not in Argentina's starting XI at a FIFA World Cup. The last time it happened was in the 2006 quarter-final against Germany, when the then-19-year-old remained an unused substitute as Argentina were eliminated on penalties.
