ITV Unveils Coverage Team for Jordan vs Algeria World Cup 2026 Clash

ITV has announced its complete lineup of commentators, pundits, and presenters for the upcoming World Cup 2026 Group J match between Jordan and Algeria, scheduled for June 23 in San Francisco. Coverage will be led by presenter Semra Hunter, a former anchor on Real Madrid TV, who will be joined in the studio by former England international Karen Carney and ex-Jamaica captain Jobi McAnuff. Commentary duties will be handled by Joe Speight and former Leeds United striker Lucy Ward, who recently called Belgium’s draw with Iran in the group stage.

Both teams enter the match desperate for their first points of the tournament after difficult starts. Jordan, making their World Cup debut, lost their opening game 3-1 to Austria despite a brief glimpse of hope from Ali Olwan’s equalizer. Algeria, meanwhile, suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Argentina, where Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick.

The match is expected to be a pivotal moment in Group J, with both sides knowing that a second consecutive loss could severely damage their chances of advancing to the knockout stage. Jordan also faces Argentina in their final group game, adding extra urgency to their campaign.

Kick-off is set for 4am BST on Tuesday, June 23, with live coverage available on ITV.
