• Five goals and a red card in thrilling friendly

The exciting friendly match between the Jordan national football team and Tunisia at the Olympique Stadium in Radès ended with the “Carthage Eagles” winning 3-2. The match was part of the intensive training camp for “Al-Nashama” in preparation for the 2026 World Cup and the 2025 Arab Cup.

Historic Goal for Jammous and Early Strike for Al-Naimat

The match featured five goals and a red card, in a fluctuating scenario that reflected both teams’ desire to test attacking tactics. Despite the loss, Jordan scored two notable goals:

• Opening Goal: Yazan Al-Naimat gave Jordan the lead with a brilliant strike in the first half, showcasing his high technical readiness.

• Historic Goal for Jammous: In the 50th minute, midfielder Amer Jammous scored Jordan’s second goal to equalize. The powerful, precise shot from outside the box marked Jammous’s first ever goal for the senior national team in his 11th international appearance.

In the final minutes, Tunisia scored the decisive third goal to secure the win.

Red Card and Squad Update

The match saw Jordan’s Muhannad Abu Taha receive a red card, forcing “Al-Nashama” to continue with ten players, increasing the difficulty in the second half.

Jordan played with an extended squad of 31 players, with Nizar Al-Rashdan joining the team on Friday to be available under coach Jamal Salami for the next match.

This phase aims to test as many players as possible and establish new tactics, especially as Jordan enters a historic period after qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals for the first time in its history.

Focus Shifts to Mali Encounter

Preparations for “Al-Nashama” continue, with the coaching staff evaluating errors from the Tunisia match, particularly the red card, and preparing for the second friendly in the camp.

The national team will face strong Mali on Tuesday, November 18, at the same stadium, in a new physical and tactical test supporting the Jordan Football Association’s ultimate goal: maximizing preparation for Jordan’s historic participation in the 2026 World Cup and the 2025 Arab Cup.
