Preview - Qualifiers - Group A: MD5
Amman: Jordan will look to complete the job when they face Islamic Republic of Iran in their  concluding AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ Qualifiers Group A tie on Saturday.  
On a perfect nine points, Jordan only need to avoid defeat while Iran - who suffered a 3-1 setback against Lebanon on Matchday Four - have to win to seal a second successive appearance at the continental showpiece. 

IR Iran v Jordan
Iran will head into the tie with their confidence hit after Wednesday’s defeat, having never really been in the game with Lebanon leading by two going into the break. 
 
Head coach Marziyeh Jafari conceded that her team paid a heavy price for their mistakes but vowed that Iran will bounce back against Jordan.
Hosts Jordan, meanwhile, will be oozing confidence after a campaign that has yielded three wins, 12 goals scored and none conceded. 

 

Maysa Jbarah has found the net in every game and Iran have to contain the 35-year-old forward if they are to secure the win they need.
Despite only needing a draw, Jordan can be expected to start on the front foot with head coach David Nascimento urging his team not to get distracted.

Singapore v Lebanon
Both teams will be playing for pride with the match being Singapore’s final chance to get points on the board.  

 

Defeats against Bhutan, Iran and Jordan meant early elimination but Karim Bencherifa will want his charges to end their campaign on a positive note.
Lebanon, boosted by their win against Iran, will expect another three points with Christy Maalouf - who bagged a hat-trick against the Central Asian side - leading their charge.
