Amman: Al Jazeera defender Yazan Al Arab insists his club has what it takes to bring the AFC Cup back to Jordan ahead of their opening Group A fixture with holders Air Force Club of Iraq.
Jordanian teams have a proud history in the continental competition with Al Faisaly winning back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006 and Shabab Al Ordon claiming the 2007 AFC Cup after denying Al Faisaly a third successive crown.

Amman: Jordan completed their two-game series against Afghanistan with a 6-0 win thanks to standout performances from three key players at Petra Stadium on Monday.
Doubles to Shahnaz Jebreen, Maysa Jbarah and substitute Mai Sweilem ensured the 2018 AFC Women’s Asian Cup hosts earned a resounding win to follow their five-goal triumph at the same venue on Friday.
For the second successive match, 106th-ranked Afghanistan fell behind to an early Jebreen goal – this time in the 13th minute – before the attacking midfielder made it 2-0 in the 36th minute.
Maysa Jbarah continued her outstanding form in front of goal to make it 3-0 a minute later, and added a fourth shortly after half-time before being replaced by Sweilem.
Sweilem, 22, made sure Jordan didn’t miss a beat in the absence of their striker, helping herself to a double, to make it three goals in two matches this week.
