An electrifying, high-stakes encounter awaits football fans this Monday as Saudi Arabia lock horns with Jordan at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor in the semi-finals of the 2025 Arab Cup.
Both sides head into this decisive clash brimming with confidence, having produced a series of impressive performances throughout the tournament.
Saudi Arabia, popularly known as Al-Akhdar, sealed their place in the last four with a hard-fought yet well-earned 2-1 victory over Palestine. The result underlined their resilience and tactical discipline, qualities that have defined their campaign so far.
Jordan, meanwhile, have continued to build strong momentum. The Nashama booked their semi-final berth with a narrow but vital 1-0 win over Iraq in the quarter-finals at Education City Stadium, showcasing defensive solidity and composure under pressure.
However, Jordan face a major setback ahead of this crucial fixture. Star striker Yazan Al-Naimat has been ruled out after sustaining a serious knee injury in the quarter-final clash against the “Lions of Mesopotamia,” a blow that could significantly impact their attacking threat.
With a place in the Arab Cup final at stake, both teams are expected to deliver a fiercely contested and high-intensity battle under the lights in Al Khor.
