The Qatari and Jordanian teams will play at six o'clock this evening, Saturday, Amman, Doha and Saudi Arabia time, the final and highly anticipated match of the Asian Cup football championship, which will be held at Lusail Stadium.

The two teams have common ambitions. The Qatari team, armed with the ground and the public, aspires to maintain the title for the second time in a row, while Al-Nashama hopes to win the first continental title in its career.

The two teams prepared well for today's confrontation, which is expected to be attended by 80,000 spectators. The rows appeared full, and the morale of the players was high.

The confrontation is historic, as this is the first meeting between Jordan and Qatar in the Asian Cup, and the date was in a historic final.

Equality of power

The forces appear to be equal between the two teams, as they both achieved important victories on their way to the match, as well as having high-level players.

The Jordanian national team is considered to have the strongest attacking plans, scoring “12” goals and conceding “5” goals, as it is one goal ahead of what the Qatar national team has scored in the tournament so far, which has only conceded “4” goals.

Jordan reached the final scene after qualifying as best third in Group Five with 4 points, as it beat Malaysia 4-0, tied with Korea 2-2, then lost to Bahrain 0-1.

In the round of 16, Jordan defeated Iraq 3-2, then passed Tajikistan 1-0, then defeated South Korea in the semi-finals with two clean goals.

The cards will be exposed, and the coach who is most focused on reading his opponent’s cards will have an influential role in leading his team to achieve victory and win the title.

Jordan coach Hussein Amouta stressed that mental focus is an important factor, especially since small details may resolve the historical confrontation.

Amota will not make any significant changes in the usual formation, as Bayazid Abu Laila plays in goalkeeping, and the defensive line is led by the trio of Yazan Al-Arab, Abdullah Nassib and Salem Al-Ajalin.

The task of building the Nashama attacks will be entrusted to Nizar Al-Rashdan and Nour Al-Rawabdeh, and from the sides will play Musa Al-Taamari, Ali Alwan and Mahmoud Mardi, and the spearhead, Yazan Al-Naimat, will emerge at the forefront.

For his part, the Spanish coach Marques Lopez, Qatar's coach, praised in the press conference the capabilities of the Jordanian national team and focused on the difficulty of the confrontation.

Lopez seeks to achieve the achievement of winning the title, as he stressed that Qatar's mission in the tournament has not yet been accomplished.

The Qatari team had reached the final match after topping its group with 9 points, beating Lebanon “3-0” and Tajikistan and China with the same score “1-0”

In the round of sixteen, it beat Palestine “2-1”, then passed Uzbekistan by a penalty shootout “3-2” after a draw “1-1”, before beating Iran “3-2”.

The Qatari national team has a homogeneous group of players, as it relies on the prowess of its brilliant goalkeeper, Mishal Barshim, and in front of him play Bedour, Ali, and Lucas Mendes.

The attacks are led by Youssef Abdel Razzaq, Jaber, Ahmed Fathi, Muhammad Ad and Al-Amin to finance Al-Moez Ali and Akram Afif, the terrible and most influential duo in the Qatari attack.
