• Match details and technical takeaways

The Jordan U-20 women’s national team fell 0-1 to Thailand in a friendly match on Saturday, February 28, held at the Emirhan Stadium in Antalya, Turkey.

This encounter was part of the team’s intensive training camp in preparation for their main continental challenge: the AFC U-20 Women’s Asian Cup finals.

The match saw a competitive battle between the two sides, as head coach Hussam Abu Ryesh rotated the squad to assess the players’ technical and physical abilities.

Despite the 1-0 loss, the coaching staff gained a clear understanding of the team’s strengths and weaknesses, particularly against a fast and tactically disciplined opponent, insights they will address in upcoming training sessions.

Asian Cup Preparations and Upcoming Russian Test

The “Nashmiyat” are scheduled to conclude their Antalya camp with a tougher challenge against the Russian national team at 10:00 PM on Tuesday, March 3, at the same venue.

Exposing the players to different football styles—Asian and European—is intended to give them valuable experience ahead of the Asian Cup, which Thailand will host in April.

Jordan will start their difficult group stage in the tournament, running from April 1 to 18, against North Korea, followed by a match against South Korea, before closing the group stage against Uzbekistan.
