Draw decides Jordan vs Egypt in Al-Nashama’s Asia preparations

- The qualifiers are scheduled to take place from November 22 to 30.
The Jordan under-17 national football team concluded its internal training camp friendlies with a goalless draw (0-0) against Egypt, in the match held Saturday evening at Al-Salt Stadium.
This encounter was part of the final preparatory program for the "Young Nashama" ahead of the decisive AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualifiers.
Dominance without effectiveness… focus on attack
The national team showed solid technical performance, maintaining the upper hand for most of the game.
The "Young Nashama" applied constant pressure and controlled the flow of the match, creating multiple attacking opportunities and threatening the Egyptian goal.
However, the main issue was the inability to convert chances into goals, as the players failed to translate field dominance into a lead.
The 0-0 draw suggests that the coaching staff will focus in the coming days on improving finishing and boosting attacking efficiency, which is essential before entering the Asian group stage, where opportunity conversion is crucial.
The friendly was played behind closed doors, allowing the coach to make substitutions and test tactical plans away from fan and media pressure.
Asian challenge awaits the "Young Nashama"
These preparations are especially important as they precede the AFC U-17 qualifiers, where Jordan is placed in Group E alongside Australia, Iraq, the Philippines, and Bhutan.
The qualifiers are scheduled from November 22 to 30, leaving a very short window for final preparations to enhance mental and physical readiness.
Through training camps and friendly matches against strong teams with different styles, the Jordan Football Association aims to provide maximum preparation and support for the under-17 team, pushing for a strong performance and a chance to qualify for the Asian finals.
