Final battle for the throne of Arab football
The final of the Arab Football tournament is set for December 18, 2025, in Qatar, with Morocco and Jordan battling for the title. Morocco are aiming to reclaim the crown but have not looked like clear favourites after opting to send a B team, which affected their overall dominance despite strong performances against UAE and Comoros. They struggled in tight wins against Saudi Arabia and Syria. Jordan, on the other hand, has impressed throughout the tournament, remaining invincible and defeating strong sides such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Their defensive solidity and consistency have been key factors in their run to the final. With the defending champions Algeria already eliminated, and Saudi Arabia set to face UAE in the third-place playoff, the stage is set for a high-voltage final that promises competitive football and a new Arab champion.
The final battle is here to claim the Throne of Arab Football. Morocco is ready to reclaim it again, while Jordan is excited for their first-ever title.
If we talk about both finalists, Morocco does not look like the favourite for the final. It is not just about being biased; it is what we witnessed throughout the tournament. First of all, Morocco made the biggest fumble by sending a B team for such an important tournament. Somehow, it showcased how much significance this title had from their point of view.
On the other side of the coin, things are understandable as AFCON is set to start at the end of December. If they sent their A team for this event, they would not have enough time to recover. But they follow a similar kind of routine in club football. The team had similar statistics, which made it an overexposed side. Against the UAE and Comoros, they dominated, while against teams like Saudi Arabia and Syria, they barely managed to survive, winning each game by a single goal.
Losing the least amount of matches is vital to claim the throne of football, where they already beaten giants like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. I am not overhyping you guys for just a one-sided game, but as it is football, it is not final until the referee blows the whistle.
In a day, we will get our new champion. Jordan was open to a massive move for the Arab side to grab it. But despite the lack of the level we expect, competitive football from Uthe AE gives an upper hand to Jordan. Somewhere, it is clear that we will have a high-voltage face-off.
