For the first time, the Jordanian Professional League this year witnessed the establishment of a draw for the home matches and the return matches, which the Football Association said came to provide the greatest degree of justice in arranging matches for each team, and also comes within the framework of the union’s efforts to develop its championships and enhance its main standards.

The draw resulted in exciting confrontations since the start of the first week of the championship on April 8, where Al-Ramtha – the defending champion – will face his Al-Faisaly counterpart, Al-Salt will meet Al-Wehdat, Al-Hussein will meet with the Youth of Jordan, Al-Jazeera with the Youth of Aqaba, Al-Sareeh and Maan, and Sahab with Mugheer Sarhan.

The new system, according to the Football Association, aims to give each team two opportunities to arrange its match schedule during the league championship, so that the first-leg matches will not be repeated during the return stage, but each club will have the opportunity to arrange a new arrangement in the second stage of the tournament, in order to achieve justice in the sequence of matches. .

The Football Association also took into account, during the drawing of the draw for the two tournaments and the issuance of the match schedule, the achievement of several main criteria, foremost of which is providing the principle of justice in arranging the match schedule, dates and places of residence, in addition to dealing with the limited stadiums approved to host professional competitions.

During the coming period, the Competitions Committee will issue the schedule of the championship matches, taking into account its dates and days, to ensure the attendance of the largest possible number of fans, by holding meetings at the weekend, and in late hours following the end of the official working hours for employees and students, and holding only one match per day, during the blessed month of Ramadan, Taking into account also, scheduling the postponed matches of Al-Wehdat fairly, after completing its participation in the group stage of the AFC Champions League 2022.
