Auxerre is buzzing as Karim El Idrissi, former player and video analyst for the club, prepares to experience a unique opportunity at the 2026 World Cup with Jordan. On June 17, 2026, Jordan will make its debut in this prestigious competition against Austria. This moment will mark a significant chapter in Jordanian football history, and El Idrissi, aged 48, will play a key role. His journey is fascinating, moving from the Coupe de l'Yonne to the world stage. In 2022, he met Jamal Sellami, the coach of Jordan, and quickly earned his trust. This led to his appointment as video analyst for the national team. Less than two years later, Jordan qualified for the World Cup, an achievement El Idrissi is proud of. "It's crazy to see what's happening to me," he says, expressing his joy and pride in representing his country and his club, Auxerre, on the international stage.
