Kuwait host Jordan at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City on Tuesday for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. It is halfway through the campaign and the Blue Waves are still looking for their first win.
In five games, they've drawn thrice and lost twice, against Oman (4-0) and most recently South Korea (3-1). But with just three points in the bag, the Gulf nation are in fifth place out of six in Group B.
With their only prior appearance at the World Cup coming way back in 1982, Kuwait's wait for a second qualification may continue if their form doesn't improve sooner rather than later.
On the other hand, Jordan have continued their incredible year with a strong run in the World Cup qualifiers. Since picking up a silver medal at this year's Asia Cup for the first time, they've waltzed through the second round and are now on course to seal a historic qualification.

They are level on points with Iraq, but sit ahead of them on goal difference. If they can maintain their lead, then the Chivalrous Ones will be making their World Cup debut in two years.
