TEAMS PREVIEW

Jordan Preview

2025 has been a landmark year for Jordan, with the national side first sealing FIFA World Cup qualification and now marching into their maiden FIFA Arab Cup final. Their run has been both ruthless and resilient—blowing past Egypt (3–0) and the UAE (2–1) in the group stages before grinding out narrow wins over Iraq (1-0) in the quarters and former champions Saudi Arabia (1-0) in a tense semifinal. 

Unbeaten throughout, Jordan conceded just two goals, kept three straight clean sheets, and sit as the tournament’s top scorers—a statement of dominance as much as belief. 

Despite their defensive steel and attacking flair, Morocco—ranked 11th in the world—represents Jordan’s toughest test yet. A victory on Thursday would not only etch history but also inject immense belief into Jamal Sellami’s side ahead of next year's World Cup in North America.

Quarterfinal hero Ali Olwan will again be at the heart of Jordan’s hopes against Morocco. He’s scored in four of five matches, netting four times from the spot, and with a team-high 12 shots, Olwan has been a constant menace throughout the tournament for the opposition. 

Jordan Probable Starting Lineup - Yazeed Abulaila (GK) ; Abdallah Nasib, Rosan, Smeeri, Dahan, Ersan, Nizar Al Rashdan, Nizar Mahmoud Mardi, Mohannad Abu Taha, Ali Olwan, Rajaei Ayed. 

Morocco Preview

Morocco have booked their place in a second FIFA Arab Cup final, having last contested—and won—the title in 2012 after edging Libya on penalties. What makes this run stand out is that the Atlas Lions have done it without several regular starters. 

After a sluggish, goalless draw with Oman to open the campaign, Tarik Sekitoui’s side found their rhythm—edging Saudi Arabia 1–0 in a must-win group clash, squeezing past Syria by the same scoreline in the quarters, and then delivering a dominant 3–0 win over the UAE in the semis. 

Built on an airtight defence that has conceded just twice, Morocco arrive in the final looking composed and battle-ready. And a win on Thursday night would not only secure Morocco a second Arab Cup crown, but also provide a timely surge of confidence ahead of the AFCON kicking off next week.

Karim El Berkaoui has been one of Morocco’s standout performers in the absence of key names. With three goals and 11 shots, he has emerged as the Atlas Lions’ main attacking threat, especially with his danger from the flanks.

Morocco Probable Starting Lineup - Mehdi Benabid (GK), Boulacscout, Soufiane Bouftini, Saadane, Hamza El Moussaoui, Bach, Zouhzouh, Tannane, Mohamed Rabie Hrimat,  El Berkaoui, Azaro. 

JORDAN vs MOROCCO
Winning Prediction

Jordan have been outstanding all tournament, matching Morocco with a six-game unbeaten run. But the Atlas Lions arrive with extra momentum, boasting an imposing 83% win rate this year and a knack for delivering under pressure. With both sides built on disciplined, hard-to-break defenses, this promises to be a tight affair—one that may well stretch to penalties to find a winner.
