Amman – Jordan coach Jamal Salami underlined the importance of Tuesday’s friendly against the Dominican Republic at Amman Stadium, calling it a vital step in preparations for the Arab Cup in Qatar this December and the 2026 World Cup.

Speaking at a press conference Monday, Salami admitted limited knowledge of the Dominican side but said the match follows last week’s friendly against Russia and provides another chance to test his squad. He confirmed several players absent from recent fixtures will get opportunities, stressing the depth of talent on the bench. His target, he added, is strong results in the Arab Cup and building momentum toward the World Cup.

Defender Yazan Al-Arab said the squad is fully ready, noting the coaching staff worked on correcting errors from the Russia match. He highlighted the team’s competitive performance against Russia as proof of readiness, adding Jordan created many chances and came close to victory.
