• Singapore Stop: Double Friendly Tests

The Jordan U-20 national football team departed Amman for Singapore to take part in an overseas training camp running until February 17.

This move is part of an intensive preparation program designed by head coach Islam Dhiab, ahead of upcoming official competitions, foremost among them the West Asia Youth Championship.

The Singapore camp will feature two friendly matches against the Singapore U-20 team, with the first encounter set for Friday, February 13, and the second on Monday, February 16.

The coaching staff aims to use these matches to assess players’ physical and technical readiness and to implement tactical patterns practiced during the pre-camp training in Amman.

The U-20 squad concluded local training on Monday evening at the federation’s fields in Al-Hussein Youth City, with Dhiab focusing on improving fitness levels and enhancing coordination across all three lines to ensure the team performs at a level befitting Jordanian football’s reputation in regional tournaments.

West Asia Championship on the Horizon

These preparations carry added significance as they lead up to the West Asia Youth Championship, scheduled next month in Kuwait.

Jordan will compete in Group B alongside Syria, Iraq, and the UAE, requiring focused preparation to face these diverse footballing styles.

Federation Vision: Sustained Support for Youth Teams

The Jordan Football Association emphasized that these camps and international friendlies align with its strategic plan to strengthen youth national teams. The federation aims to provide full logistical and technical support to the U-20 team, considered the main feeder for both the Olympic squad and the senior national team, with the goal of achieving strong results and competing for upcoming tournament titles.
