Huge Amounts to Be Won by the 2025 Arab Cup Champion in Qatar... Who Will Take the Prize, Jordan or Morocco?

With a reserve team, Morocco hopes to end a year full of successes across various age categories, but winning the Arab Cup football tournament today, Thursday, at the Lusail World Cup Stadium, faces the resilience of Jordan, dreaming of its first-ever title.

After its historic achievement at the 2022 World Cup, also in Qatar, when it became the first African and Arab team to reach the semifinals, the pace of successes in Moroccan football has accelerated: qualifying this year for the 2026 World Cup, winning the U-20 World Cup in Chile, the African Nations Championship, and the U-17 African Cup.

Morocco tasted the title once in 2012, while Jordan's best result was finishing fourth in 1988 on home soil.

Both teams deserved to reach the final after topping their groups in the first round, then Morocco defeated Syria 1-0 in the quarterfinals and the UAE 3-0 in the semifinals, while Jordan beat Iraq and Saudi Arabia by the same scoreline of 1-0.

The match carries a Moroccan flavor, as Jordan is coached by Moroccan Jamal Salami, who will face his compatriot Tarik Sektioui.
