Jordan advances to Arab Cup final following quarter‑final success
Jordan Football’s national team, known as Al‑Nashama, secured a 1‑0 victory over Iraq in the FIFA Arab Cup quarter‑finals through a first‑half penalty by Ali Olwan, booking a place in the semi‑finals (en.royanews.tv). However, the victory came at a cost as star forward Yazan Al‑Naimat suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament tear and is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament (en.royanews.tv). The team now prepares to face Saudi Arabia in the semi‑final, aiming to continue its impressive run in the competition.
