At Amman International Stadium Hussein Irbid booked their spot with a narrow 1-0 victory over 21-time Cup winners Faisali. The decisive moment came in the 75th minute when Sisa, a former Faisali forward, found the back of the net with a clinical finish, capitalising on a defensive lapse to stun his former club. The match was closely fought, with both sides struggling to create clear chances. Faisali pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but Hussein Irbid held firm defensively to preserve their lead and secure a historic victory. In the other semifinal at King Abdullah II stadium, Wihdat edged Al Ahli 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw. The shootout was decided when M. Haddad of Al Ahli missed his attempt, sending the ball wide, before the goalkeeper Fakhouri stepped up to scorethe winning penalty and seal Wihdat's place in the final. The final is scheduled for Sunday, May 12, and will take place at Amman International Stadium, as confirmed by the Jordan Football Association. Hussein Irbid will be aiming for a landmark title, while Wehdat look to add yet another trophy to their record.

Jordan Cup semis played tonight
AMMAN — Thursday evening will see Faisali vs Hussein and Wihdat vs Ahli at 7:00 pm in the semifinals of the Jordan Cup —the last event on the 2024/25 season football calendar. Faisali and Wihdat aim to reach the final to have a shot at one of the season's titles after Hussein retained the Pro League crown and won Jordan Super Cup while Salt won their first ever title when they snatched the Jordan Football Association Shield. Playing at Amman International Stadium, Hussein will be eyeing their first Jordan Cup title. They are led by Faisali'sex-coach Ahmad Hayel who was dismissed in the final weeks to join Hussein with whom he won his first title as a Pro league club coach owing their win to a last minute draw of Ramtha vs Wihdat who were leading the league by one point ahead of the final day of the competition. On the other hand, Faisali's veteran player and coach Jamal Abu Abed will strive to snatch a title for his club with the aim of competing again regionally next season after Hussein and Wihdat exited the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Champions League (ACL) Two in the Round of 16 this year. In the other semifinal at King Abdullah Stadium, Wihdat'sTunisian coach Qais Yacoubi also hopes to snatch a win after the Pro League crown slipped away. The coach acknowledged that defensive errors had cost his team the win, and has urged his players to put that result behind their back and focus on the coming season. Ahli maintained their place in the Pro League and havewon the Jordan Cup once in 2015. Their coach Bashar Bani Yasin has underlined his team will give it all they've got in their match against a veteran team like Wihdat. 'We know our opponents and will spare no effort. Chances are equal,' he added
