Argentina will look to maintain winning momentum as it takes on Jordan in a Group J match in Dallas on Saturday.
The South American side has already sealed the top spot in the group after beating Algeria and Austria. Meanwhile, Jordan has already been eliminated from the tournament after back-to-back defeats.
PREVIEW - ARGENTINA vs JORDAN
The Jordan vs Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Group F match will be officiated by Istvan Kovacs, who is in his debut World Cup. He had earlier marshalled the game between Japan and Tunisia.
The Romanian has been a FIFA-approved official since 2018 and primarily officiates in the SuperLiga. He has taken charge of several high-profile games, including the first-ever Europa Conference League final between Roma and Feyenoord, which the former won 1-0.
The Romanian was amongst the headlines during Euro 2024 after dishing out 18 cards (16 yellows and 2 reds) during the group stage match between Turkiye and Czechia, making it the most in the continental competition’s history.
The following year, he officiated the UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, which saw the French club win its first European title.
