Qatar's coach Marquez Lopez assessed Jordan as a team with a difficult playing style at the 2023 Asian Cup. "They have technical skill, many good players, and are ready to shine at crucial moments," the Spanish coach said.
Being considered the stronger team puts pressure on coach Marquez Lopez and his players, as he admits that Qatar's biggest challenge is the pressure of winning the championship weighing heavily on the players' shoulders.
The Qatar team is aiming for their second consecutive championship title.
Meanwhile, reaching the final is already a huge success for the Jordan team, so they aim to enjoy the final match. With a relaxed mindset and if they can play as well as they have in recent matches, the Jordan team is ready to spring a surprise on the host team Qatar.
The Jordan national team is eager to win the Asian Cup for the first time.
Qatar has a dominant record in previous encounters with Jordan. However, in their most recent match in 2024, Jordan won 2-1. Besides aiming to defend their title, Qatar's striker Akram Afif is also in contention for the top scorer award, currently trailing Aymen Hussein (Iraq) by one goal.
The 2023 Asian Cup final between Qatar and Jordan takes place at 10 PM today and will be broadcast live on VTV5 andFPT Play.
