Jordan Joins Morocco in the Arab Cup Final

Jordan Qualifies for the 2025 Arab Cup Final

Jordan secured its ticket to the final of the 2025 Arab Cup following a narrow but well-deserved victory (1-0) over Saudi Arabia on Monday at Al-Bayt Stadium. Under the guidance of Moroccan coach Jamal Sellami, the Nashama delivered a solid team performance to join Morocco in the finals.

A Cautious and Balanced First Half

The first half was characterized by cautious tactics from both teams. The Jordanians and Saudis relied on strict defensive organization, limiting offensive initiatives and clear scoring opportunities.

Al-Rashdan Breaks the Deadlock After Halftime

The match came to life after the break. More proactive, the Jordanian side finally made the breakthrough in the 66th minute when Nizar Al-Rashdan scored the only goal of the game with an unstoppable header, capping off Jordan’s dominance.

Saudi Arabia Hindered by a Red Card

Under pressure to react, Saudi Arabia managed to create several dangerous situations, particularly through Al-Buraikan, who was thwarted by a decisive save from the Jordanian goalkeeper, and Al-Hamdan, whose long-range shot sailed over the bar. The Saudis then saw their chances dwindle after the expulsion of Walid Al-Ahmed, forcing them to finish the match with one player less.

A Historic Qualification for the Nashama

Solid until the final whistle, Jordan held firm against the mounting pressure and emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline, thereby achieving a historic qualification for the Arab Cup final.

Highly Anticipated Morocco-Jordan Final

The final of the 2025 Arab Cup will therefore pit Morocco against Jordan on Thursday, December 18, at Lusail Stadium, in a promising matchup that is already generating significant excitement.
