The assistant coaching staff of the senior women's team will retain their positions as well.

Additionally, the executive committee has appointed Brazilian coach Hugo Filami to train the U-17 women's national team while serving as an assistant to Abu Hantash for the senior team.

This decision reflects the association's commitment to comprehensive evaluation and development in women's football, aiming to realize their ambitions in future competitions.

BasketballMeanwhile, the national basketball team faced disappointment as they concluded their training camp in Greece. During a friendly match against the Greek U-20 team at the "Nikos Galis" Hall in Athens, the “Jordan Falcons" suffered a narrow defeat, with a final score of 58-62.

This match served as part of the Greek youth team's preparations for the upcoming European Championship, set to be held in Heraklion, Crete, where Greece will compete in Group 3 alongside Lithuania, Poland, and Croatia.

These recent developments mark significant changes in Jordan's sports landscape, as new coaching appointments bring fresh perspectives and aspirations for success in both women's football and basketball.
