FriendliesArgentina is closing its participation in Group J against Jordan in the 2026 World Cup, with questions rising regarding the presence of star Lionel Messi in the game. Argentina is set to face Jordan for its final Group J match of the 2026 World Cup at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With La Albiceleste having already punched their ticket to the knockout rounds, anticipation is building regarding how much fans will see of superstar Lionel Messi. Messi is expected to feature in the match, but likely as a second-half substitute. Head coach Lionel Scaloni made it clear during Friday’s press conference that Argentina’s captain will start the game on the bench, noting that while the squad is fully prepared for Jordan, he was reluctant to reveal the exact starting eleven just yet. Along with that announcement, Scaloni hinted that “Leo will come on later,” virtually guaranteeing the legendary playmaker will log some minutes. According to TyC Sports journalist and Argentina insider Gaston Edul, the Inter Miami star is eager to get on the pitch to avoid going more than an entire week without competitive match rhythm ahead of the Round of 32. Thus far, Messi has been in vintage form, netting five goals across the first two group matches to account for every single one of Argentina’s goals in the World Cup. Having just celebrated his 39th birthday, the iconic number 10 will also be looking to extend his lead at the top of the tournament’s golden boot race. #SelecciónMayor Última actividad terminada ✔️¡A cerrar el Grupo J del Mundial con todo! pic.twitter.com/V9NMwtxu1d— 🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ (@Argentina) June 26, 2026 Argentina and Jordan enter with their World Cup fates already sealed As Matchday 3 gets underway, the Round of 32 bracket is rapidly taking shape while the opening stage comes to a close.

This clash will determine whether either national team can keep their knockout-stage dream alive after both suffered defeats in their opening two matches. Both sides arrive at the meeting after difficult campaigns so far, with Senegal losing to France and Norway, while Iraq fell against the same two opponents.
