Jordan and Morocco to Face Off in FIFA Arab Cup 2025 Final

Jordan and Morocco are officially set to match off in the FIFA Arab Cup 2025 final, lining up one of the tournament’s most talked-about showdowns. It’s a straight battle between Jordan’s free-flowing attack and Morocco’s disciplined, hard-to-break defence, with the title on the line at Lusail Stadium.

Jordan’s Goals vs Morocco’s Defence

Jordan arrive in the final as the most aggressive attacking team of the tournament, scoring 10 goals in five matches. Even with key forward Yazan Al Naimat sidelined by a knee injury, the Nashama haven’t lost momentum. Much of that is down to Ali Olwan, the competition’s top scorer, and a squad that has shown depth and confidence throughout the campaign.

Morocco, meanwhile, have taken a very different route to the final. The Atlas Lions have conceded just once so far, and that goal came from an own goal early in the group stage. Since then, their defence has looked almost untouchable, shutting down every opponent that’s tried to break through.

Familiar Stage, Big Stakes

The final will be played at Lusail Stadium, a venue both teams know well. Morocco’s recent history in Qatar includes their famous World Cup semi-final run, while Jordan played an Asian Cup final at the same stadium two years ago. Neither side is new to high-pressure matches on this stage.

A New Champion Will Be Crowned

With defending champions Algeria already eliminated, the 2025 Arab Cup is guaranteed to produce a new winner. Both Jordan and Morocco were knocked out in the quarter-finals four years ago, making this final a major step forward for both teams.

Key Players to Watch

For Jordan, Mahmoud Al Mardi could play a crucial role. Known for balancing defensive duties with attacking support, he may carry extra responsibility in the absence of Al Naimat.

Morocco will once again lean on captain Mohamed Hrimat, whose ability to shield the defence and control the midfield has been central to their unbeaten run.
