Palestine and Jordan clash at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium in neutral Malaysia on Tuesday in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Both sides had failed to win their opening game of the third round and will be looking to open their account here.
Ranked 96th in the world, Palestine are dreaming of reaching the World Cup in the next edition to create history. Their hunger and spirit was on full display as they held South Korea to a 0-0 draw in Seoul this week.
The Lions of Canaan had only 24% possession, and faced 16 shots, including five on target, but displayed tremendous resistance in defense to keep their mighty hosts at bay.
It helped them earn a valuable point in their World Cup qualifying campaign, and the Middle Eastern side will be looking to build on that momentum. Standing in their way are their neighbors, Jordan, who are buoyed by their runners-up finish at the Asian Cup earlier this year.
The Chivalrous Ones were pegged back by Kuwait at the death in their opening game as Youssef Nasser equalized from the penalty spot in the 92nd minute to cancel out Mousa Al-Tamari's first-half opener for the hosts.
