As part of their qualifier
preparations, the national team will play Saudi Arabia on June 5, Qatar on June
7, and then Saudi once more on June 8. Media outlets will not be allowed to
cover the event.
In the qualifiers, Jordan will
face Palestine, Kazakhstan, then Palestine, again on June 12, June 13 and June
14, respectively, in matches scheduled for 7pm at the Prince Hamzah Hall.
Fans will not be allowed to attend
the event, to prevent potential outbreaks and cases of
COVID-19.
In previous statements, the Jordan
Basketball Federation (JBF) said was hoping to occupy stands with at least a
limited audience who had received both shots of the COVID-19 vaccine, but
recent government decisions, working towards a safe summer, have put a damper on the federation’s plans.
Under these decisions, fans will
be allowed to fill stands to 30 percent of their capacity, but the new
regulations will only go into effect on July 1.
Participating team delegations
have already started arriving in Jordan, ahead of the qualifiers.
Qatar and Syria will arrive on
June 6 and June 8, respectively, followed by Iran and Kazakhstan, both on June
9.
