Jordan and Iraq clash in the quarter-finals of the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup on Friday. The winner of the tie will face either Palestine or Saudi Arabia in the last four of the competition.
With three wins from three, the Chivalrous Ones stormed into the knockout stages after collecting all nine points. They beat the UAE 2-1 in their opening game, before cruising past Kuwait in a 3-1 victory.
Egypt were the next to bite the dust as Jordan saw them off in a comprehensive 3-0 win to wrap up their group stage campaign in style. Emboldened after qualifying for their first-ever FIFA World Cup campaign, the Jordanians are now making a mark in the Arab Cup too and have emerged as one of the favorites right now, given their solid run of form.

Iraq were also cruising. After beating Bahrain and Sudan, they faced Algeria in the battle for Group D's top spot. All the Lions of Mesopotamia had to do was avoid a loss, but Algeria prevailed 2-0, courtesy of a goal by Mohamed Tougai followed by an own goal from Saad Natiq. That condemned Iraq to a runners-up spot in the group.
