The Jordan Falcons will start their 2023 run by playing
Saudi at home in Amman and away in Riyadh
on November 26 and 29, for the group 3 matches.
The technical staff of
the national team has settled on the issue of a foreign player who will be
granted Jordanian citizenship to represent the Jordan Falcons at upcoming
events.
One of the player’s strongest suits is power forward and playing center
midfield.
In contrast, director
of the women’s national team, Faisal Al-Nsuor, believes that training is going
well, pointing to the need to improve the fitness of players with coach Ahmad
Samer.
Nsour said: “There is
daily training based on the physical and technical aspects of the players. And
we aspire to give a great image of women’s basketball in Jordan.”
Nsour added that the
level of runners up in Group 2 of the Asia cup seemed to be very close.
On reducing the list
of players on the women’s team, Nsour said: “We have called out 21 players, and
there are a number of players who have withdrawn from participating in this
stage for different reasons, and we will keep 14 players who are taking part in
the training and will be listed according to the circumstances of each match.”
Regarding the foreign
player who will be granted citizenship, Nsour said that the player who will
represent Jordan Falcons has been chosen, noting that “we chose the foreign
player who will be a remarkable addition to the team, having a high level of
technicality.”
