JORDAN LAUNCH U23 CAMPAIGN WITH SAUDI TEST

The talking is over, and Jordan’s Olympic Football team will be hoping to turn an impressive build-up into points when they launch their Asian U23 cup campaign against Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

The match will get underway in the Changshu Stadium at 1.30pm (Jordan time), and a win would set them up nicely for the remaining Group C matches against Malaysia and Iraq, who will also meet tomorrow. The team has prepared well by camping in the UAE over the last two weeks where they beat China 2-0 and Hatta Club 3-2.

This is the third appearance for Jordan in the AFC U23 Asian Cup after they finished third in Amman 2013 but missed out from the quarterfinal in Qatar two years ago.
