• Arab sports fans’ attention turns Monday evening to the iconic stadium "Al Bayt" in Doha, which will host the "Mother of Battles" in the 2025 Arab Cup semi-final
• Salami defies the "injury curse" while Renard announces the general mobilization to storm the "dream final"

Arab sports fans’ attention will focus tomorrow evening, Monday, on the iconic "Al Bayt" Stadium in Doha, set to stage the "Mother of Battles" in the 2025 Arab Cup semi-final, as the ambitions of the Jordanian team, "Al-Nashama," collide with the experience and strength of Saudi Arabia’s "Green Falcons," in a showdown that admits no compromise.

Salami: We will fight with whoever is present… and the team doctor is "innocent."

At the press conference held Sunday, the head coach of the Jordanian team, Jamal Salami, spoke in a tone mixing realism with challenge. Salami acknowledged the difficulty of the task against an opponent he described as "strong and complete," noting that Saudi chances seem theoretically high.

Salami did not hide his team’s suffering from painful blows, including the absence of key players, especially the striking duo Yazan Al-Naemat and Mousa Al-Tamari. Nevertheless, he raised the banner of resilience, saying: "We miss influential players, but we will defend our chances with all our strength to reach the final." The coach also settled the debate surrounding Al-Naemat’s injury, clearing the team doctor of any responsibility for the worsening of his condition during the Iraq match.

Renard: Fully ready… our eyes on the cup

On the other side, French coach Hervé Renard appeared more relaxed and confident. The "French Fox" confirmed that his team enters the match with a complete roster and high physical readiness after resting players following their previous game.

Renard emphasized that the goal is not merely to advance but to reach the podium, saying: "Our players have full professionalism, and we are ready to face Jordan… we must reach the final for our fans."

A quest for history

"Al-Nashama" enters this match with the ambition of making history, aiming to reach the final for the first time in their participation history, while the "Green Falcons" seek to assert their dominance and advance toward the title. The Jordanian team will hold its final training session this evening to put the finishing touches on the plan for confronting the Saudi lineup.
