Looking back at the previous edition of the Arab Cup, the Jordanian national team achieved a remarkable feat by advancing alongside Morocco from a group that also included Saudi Arabia and Palestine, before facing Egypt and exiting at the quarterfinal stage.

Amid unprecedented anticipation from fans in Amman and across Jordanian cities, all eyes now turn to Doha, where the national team, “Al-Nashama,” is preparing to take on a new regional challenge in the 2025 Arab Cup. This participation carries a distinctive flavor compared to previous editions, as the team enters the Arab arena fresh from their historic qualification for the 2026 World Cup and carrying the silver medal from the recent Asian Cup, raising ambitions to new heights.

The draw has set a thrilling and competitive path for the Jordanian squad, placing them in a “hard-hitting” group, sometimes referred to as the “major derbies” group, where Al-Nashama will face the Pharaohs (Egypt), the White (UAE), and the Blue (Kuwait), promising high-stakes matches that will captivate fans.

According to the announced schedule, Jordan will kick off its tournament campaign with a Gulf clash against the UAE on Wednesday, December 3, at the World Cup-standard “Al Bayt Stadium,” starting at 8:00 PM Mecca time, in an opening match where both sides will aim to secure a perfect start with three points.

The second round arrives swiftly, as Jordan faces a Levant-Gulf derby against Kuwait on Saturday, December 6, at the “Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium,” in an early 2:00 PM kickoff, with tensions running high to determine qualification prospects before the final group stage match.

The group stage finale promises to be a dramatic showdown and a nostalgic encounter when Al-Nashama meet Egypt again on Tuesday, December 9, at Al Bayt Stadium at 5:30 PM. This match carries special significance, recalling the scenario from the previous edition when Jordan faced Egypt in the quarterfinals and displayed a heroic performance.

To ensure fans across the Arab world can follow every moment, the matches will be broadcast across a wide range of free-to-air channels, including beIN SPORTS, Al Kass, Abu Dhabi Sports, Dubai Sports, and Kuwait Sports, with Jordan Sports expected to join the coverage. Additionally, official streaming will be available via social media platforms and FIFA’s YouTube channel.
