AMMAN — Hussein and Wihdat come head-to-head on Sunday in Leg 1 of the 41st Jordan Super Cup.
The Super Cup groups reigning League champs Hussein and Jordan Cup champs Wihdat who are the event titleholders after they beat Faisali to win the title in the 2023/24 season. Faisali are 17-time record winners, Wihdat 15, Ramtha 3, Shahab Urdun 2, Ahli, Hussein and Jazira once.
Leg 2 will be played on February 6 as local football action returns after a long break as the national team prepares to resume World Cup qualifiers. The squad held a training camp ahead of Leg 2 of the CFI Jordan Professional Football League restarting next weekend.
