Boost for Al-Nashama ahead of “Antalya”

In a new achievement that reflects the high technical value of the Jordanian player on international stages, the Korean Football League Association has selected the national team defender and FC Seoul player Yazan Al-Arab in the Best XI of the fourth round of the K League 1.

Exceptional performance and defensive solidity The selection of the “Rock of Al-Nashama” came after the outstanding performance he delivered in his team’s latest match against Pohang Steelers, which ended in a valuable 1-0 victory for FC Seoul.

According to technical statistics released by global rating platforms such as Sofascore and FotMob, Al-Arab received a high rating of 8.2, one of the highest among defenders in the Korean league this season.

During the fourth round, Al-Arab stood out for his strong ability to win duels, achieving a 100% success rate in aerial challenges, in addition to a passing accuracy exceeding 88%, making him a true defensive anchor for his team and a key contributor to building play from the back.

Continued brilliance in Asian leagues This inclusion in the Best XI is not a coincidence, but rather a continuation of a series of successes achieved by Yazan Al-Arab since joining the Korean league in the summer of 2024.

After being selected in the 2025 Team of the Season, the Jordanian star is proving this year that he is a decisive figure in FC Seoul’s defense, further cementing his status as one of the best foreign professionals in Asia.

This standout form comes at an ideal time for the national team’s coaching staff led by Jamal Sellami, as Yazan Al-Arab prepares to join the Al-Nashama squad heading to Antalya, Turkey, to play friendly matches against Costa Rica and Nigeria.

Jordanian fans are placing great hopes on Al-Arab’s experience and readiness to lead the back line in the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, especially as the team will face strong opponents in its group.

With his repeated presence in the elite Best XI list, Yazan Al-Arab is opening doors for more Jordanian talents to pursue professional careers in major leagues, confirming that Arab defenders are capable of competing at the highest level in challenging environments such as the Korean league.
