JORDAN U23 SET FOR IRAQ TEST

Jordan’s Olympic Football team will meet Iraq on Tuesday with only a win guaranteeing passage to the quarter-finals of the AFC U23 Championship in China.

After two draws against Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, there is still everything to play for with Group C leaders Iraq on four points, Jordan and Saudi Arabia on two and Malaysia on two.

Only victory will guarantee a spot in the quarter-finals. This is the third appearance for Jordan in the competition, after they finished third at Amman 2013, but missed out from the quarter-finals in Qatar two years ago.
