Asian Cup Australia: Iran head coach Marziyeh Jafari expressed elation after her team overcame the odds to secure qualification for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 on Saturday.

Following a 3-1 defeat to Lebanon on Matchday Four, Iran needed nothing less than a win against Jordan to advance - and they delivered, earning a hard-fought 2-1 victory to book their spot in the continental tournament for the second time in a row.

"I am really happy that we were able to make the hearts of the Iranian people happy. Qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup was not easy.
