The new season is about to kick off and the fans are tingling with excitement. It’s all to play for as Al Jazeera welcome Sahab for the opening game at Amman International Stadium. Read on!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
