quoted on the
Jordan Football Association’s website as saying: “This is an
important game and our focus is on securing three points before we start
thinking about facing Kuwati and Australia, to ensure that we qualify to the
final playoffs.”
He added: "We need nine more points to guarantee that we
qualify. Our journey will begin with Nepal and we realize the importance of our
meeting with Kuwait. But first, we must secure the highest number of points
against Nepal before looking ahead to our next match."
The Kingdom’s delegation to Kuwait includes the following

Al-Kawamleh, Yazan Al-Arab, Anas Bani Yaseen, Rawad Abu Khaizaran, Saad
