Iran Beats Jordan at AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2025 Qualification
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran defeated Jordan 4-2 to conclude its AFC U-17 Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2025 Qualifiers Group A campaign on Sunday.

Iran started on the front foot and took the lead through Jordan captain Karzg Shadi Alqasem's 15th minute own goal at the Prince Mohammed Stadium, Zarqa.
Jordan defender Nour Aldeen Amro leveled the score in the 37th minute with forward Mohammad Mustafa Aburomeh putting them ahead three minutes later.
Iran defender Abolfazl Kazemi netted the equalizer in the 71st minute and Salman Ghafari (77th) and Mehrdad Agha Mohammadi (90+4, penalty) added to more goals to seal 4-2 win for Iran.
