Preview - Qualifiers - Group A: MD4
Amman: The race to finish top of Group A of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ Qualifiers looks set to go down to the wire with Islamic Republic of Iran and Jordan both chasing third successive wins on Wednesday.
The group is finely poised after three matchdays with Iran and Jordan leading the pack on six points. Bhutan are also in the mix with the same number of points having played a game more.

Iran will head into their tie against Lebanon in confident mood after a comprehensive 7-1 win against Bhutan on Sunday.

Marziyeh Jafari’s side had six different goalscorers against Bhutan and their impressive strikeforce will give a Lebanon side - who have already conceded six goals over two matches - a formidable challenge.

Looking to make a return to the Finals after having made their debut at India 2022, Iran will need to keep their winning run going to set up a final day decider against hosts Jordan.
Jordan, meanwhile, will be aiming to match what Iran do in their tie against Bhutan following a dominant 5-0 victory against Singapore on Sunday.

Captain Maysa Jbarah is in red-hot form after netting braces against Lebanon and Singapore and Bhutan’s defence will do well to keep her in check.

Fuelled by the disappointment of missing out on India 2022, Jordan will be determined to make home advantage count but will need to be wary of Bhutan who are mathematically still in the hunt.
