History awaits Jordan.
Jordan advanced from the group stage as one of the four best third-placed teams. They displayed an impressive performance, dramatically winning 3-2 against Iraq in the round of 16, defeating the "dark horse" Tajikistan 1-0 in the quarter-finals, and convincingly overcoming favorites South Korea 2-0 in the semi-finals.
Jordan unexpectedly defeated South Korea.
Meanwhile, defending champions Qatar have overcome several strong teams such as Uzbekistan and Iran, who are considered contenders for the title this year. With a perfect record of six wins in all six matches, the home team clearly has grounds to believe they can successfully defend their Asian championship title, which they won in the UAE exactly five years ago.
The Qatar national team has a great chance to defend their Asian Cup title.
In their 24 previous encounters, the Jordanian team has only won 7, drawn 5, and lost 12 matches against Qatar. However, in a friendly match played more than a month ago, the Jordanian team secured a 2-1 victory, which will be a significant boost for Coach Hussein Ammouta's team as they aim for a historic win.
