• Only a few hours separate us from the historic moment, as the Arab sports scene holds its breath in anticipation of the "Dream Final" of the 2025 Arab Cup, which will bring together the "Nashama" and the "Atlas Lions" at 7:00 PM today, Thursday, at the Lusail Stadium.

After the completion of the field preparations, the features of the lineup that both coaches—Jamal Salami (Jordan) and Tarik Sektioui (Morocco)—will rely on have become clear, with a tendency toward technical stability.

Salami Prepares Substitutes to Cover Absences

The Jordanian national team’s head coach enters the match fully aware of the challenge, given the absence of star Yazan Al-Naimat due to injury, in addition to doubts surrounding Mohamed Abu Zuraik "Sharara," who has suffered from abdominal muscle pain.

Salami is likely to maintain the main structure that helped them surpass Saudi Arabia in the semi-final, while deploying alternative options in the attacking line. The young player Odeh Al-Fakhouri stands out to cover the gap, alongside full reliance on Ali Alwan as the main striker and primary attacking pivot.

Moroccan Stability After the "Emirates Hat-trick"

On the other hand, the Moroccan camp enjoys significant technical stability, with coach Tarik Sektioui set to maintain the lineup that swept the UAE with a clean hat-trick, relying on experience in midfield and the attacking efficiency of the duo Barkawi and Azaro.

Expected Lineup for the 2025 Arab Cup Final:

Jordan National Team (Nashama):

Goalkeeper: Yazid Abu Layla. Defense: Abdullah Naseeb, Saad Al-Rosan, Hussam Abu Al-Dhahab. Flanks: Adham Al-Quraishi (Right), Muhannad Abu Tah (Left). Midfield: Nizar Al-Rashdan, Amer Jamous. Attack: Mahmoud Mardi, Odeh Al-Fakhouri, Ali Alwan.

Morocco National Team (Atlas Lions):

Goalkeeper: Al-Mahdi Bin Obeid. Defense: Mohamed Bouleksout, Marwan Saadan, Sofiane Bouftini, Hamza Al-Mousawi. Midfield: Anas Bash, Mohamed Rabee Harimat, Osama Tnan. Attack: Karim Barkawi, Amin Zahzouh, Walid Azaro.
