SECOND WIN FOR OLYMPIC TEAM

Jordan’s U23 football team have picked up their second win from two opening games in their quest to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Goals from Moussa Al-Tamari (15), Omar Hani (60) and Mohammed Bani Atia (63) gave Jordan a 3-0 win over Kyrgyzstan at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait.

The win puts Jordan top of Group E with six points after their first game victory against hosts Kuwait on Thursday.

A total of 43 teams are participating in the qualifiers, divided into 11 groups, with the winners from each group and top four runners-up qualifying for the 3rd Asian U23 Cup in Thailand early next year.

From that, the top three teams will go through to the Olympics.
