GIRLS WIN WEST ASIAN TITLE
Jan 14, 2022
Jordan’s U14 girls football team has been crowned West Asian Federation Champions after beating Lebanon 1-0 in the final held in Beirut.
Victory was secured through Hala Murar’s only goal of the match in the 62nd minute, with the striker also being named Player-of-the-Tournament and joint top scorer with teammate Jana Maatouq and Palestine’s Lynn Khoury. All three players scored three goals each.
The President of the Lebanese Football Association, Hashem Haidar, presents the medals alongside Jordan’s Ambassador to Lebanon, Walid Al-Hadid, and representatives of the West Asian Federation.
Four teams competed in the tournament, which was seen as a preparation for building up towards next summer’s U17 Asian Cup qualifiers, as several of the Jordanian side are also in the running to make the older squad.
