“It has become difficult to hold the playoffs for the final
2020-2021 tournaments according to their initial schedule, given ongoing
(COVID-19) developments. Therefore, we have decided to postpone them until
further notice when sports cities are permitted to open, which will likely be
after the end of the holy month of Ramadan,” president of the Jordan Handball
Federation, Tayseer Al-Mansi, told
Jordan News.
He added: This delay will not affect our new season, which
will kick off in the second half of 2021, with the U-16 championships, on July
1; followed by the Princess Sumaya women’s cup and the women’s league.
Al-Mansi reassured that no financial losses will be incurred
as a result of the postponement, but that the decision will instead impact the
technical level of the athletes as they will have to go through extended
periods without training.
Umm Joza, Al-Raya, Al-Arabi, Al-Qoqzi, Yarmouk, Al-Baqaa,
Kafarsom, Amman and the Wadi Al-Seer clubs have all reached the quarter finals
of the youth tournament. Umm Joza is currently at the top of the general
scoreboard for Group1 (Al-Wasat) (5pts.), followed by Yarmouk and Al-Baqaa in
second place (5pts. - goal difference).
