Jordan’s sports betting odds to lift the World Cup are among the longest for this summer’s tournament.

Drawn alongside Argentina, Austria, and Algeria, even taking a point from their three matches would be deemed a success of sorts. 

What is the average salary for Jordan players?

The average salary for Jordan’s 2026 World Cup squad is around £3,000 per week. Some players in the Jordan squad will be on weekly wages of less than £2,000, while others will be on closer to £5,000.

Only one of the 26 men in Jordan’s World Cup squad plays in Europe. The others are spread across the Middle East, with a decent number of the squad playing in Jordan, and others in Iraq, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Who are the top earning players for Jordan?

Musa Al-Taamari, a forward for Rennes, is the highest-earning player in the Jordan squad. Al-Taamari is on more than £30,000 per week, according to reports.

The other high earners include Ali Olwan (around £6,000 per week for Al-Sailiya) and Nizar Al-Rashdan, who is believed to be on roughly £10,000 per week with Qatar SC.

How much does the Jordan manager earn?

An exact salary for Jamal Sellami has not been publicly reported. Judging off the salaries that other World Cup managers are on, it’s likely Sellami’s annual earnings are less than £400,000. 

Given Jordan’s standing in the world game and the amount of money in Jordanian football, Sellami is expected to be one of the lowest-paid managers at this summer’s World Cup.
