  • “Blue Eagle” Enters Match with 28 Points, “Northern Gazelles” with 27

Jordanian football fans will turn their eyes to Amman International Stadium at Al-Hussein Youth City at 6:30 PM on Thursday to watch the “match of the season” as the country’s two giants, Al-Faisaly and Al-Ramtha, clash in the 12th round of the Jordanian Pro League.

International Refereeing Team for a Tough Task

Given the critical importance of the match, which could define the league’s top spot, the Jordan Football Association appointed referee Ahmed Yaqoub to oversee the derby. He will be assisted by Mohammed Al-Khalaf and Hamza Saadeh as assistant referees, with Mohammed Ghbayin as the fourth official and Ayman Obaidat as additional referee, ensuring the highest level of officiating accuracy in a decisive encounter.

Al-Faisaly: Top Spot, Rewards, and Redemption

The “Blue Eagle” enters the match with 28 points, carrying dual ambitions: maintaining their top position and gaining redemption after a 1-0 loss in the first leg that led to the dismissal of the previous coaching staff. The club’s interim committee boosted player morale by awarding the “Union Shield” bonuses and announcing special financial incentives for a victory tonight.

On the field, Al-Faisaly will compete with an almost full squad under coach Denis, with key players Obeid Al-Smarneh and Mohammed Al-Kloub returning from injury, alongside Senegalese professional Abdeljalil Agagon, who is back after serving a suspension.

The team completed preparations in high spirits under Montenegrin coach Milan Radović, who focused his final training sessions on securing a decisive win to climb to the top of the standings.
