Sporting Kansas City Academy defender Mo Abualnadi helped lead the Jordan U-19 Men’s Natinonal Team to a pair of victories over Qatar’s Aspire Academy this week at King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman, Jordan.
Abualnadi (No. 2 pictured above) anchored a Jordan backline that posted consecutive shutouts, with the hosts prevailing 2-0 on Tuesday and 4-0 on Thursday. The friendlies served as preparation for 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualifying, which will begin later this year.
Abualnadi’s participation with the Jordan U-19s continues a momentous month for the 17-year-old, who spent over a week training with Sporting KC during the club’s preseason campaign in Scottsdale, Arizona.
