Australia’s friendly against Jordan moved to Qatar over security concerns

Next week’s international friendly between Australia and Jordan has been moved to Doha, Football Australia (FA) said on Friday, after security concerns were raised over playing the fixture in Amman.
Australia, who face Qatar in Doha later on Friday, had been set to travel to Jordan for Tuesday’s game.
However, it was relocated after Professional Footballers Australia last week said Australia’s players had “overwhelmingly” expressed their view that the match should be moved.
“We are very grateful to the Jordan Football Association for accepting to relocate the match,” FA CEO Martin Kugeler said in a statement.
“We know how much the Jordan team and fans were looking forward to welcoming the Socceroos to Amman.
“The dialogue with the JFA has been nothing but open, respectful and collaborative. They were wonderful hosts in Amman this week, and I thank them for their professionalism and flexibility. We look forward to welcoming Jordan to Australia in the future.”
