    Tournament information

    [edit]

    All games were hosted at the Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium.[1] Initially, players and staff had been denied entry to the West Bank by Israeli authorities.[2] Israel issued entry visas following an intervention from Jordanian prince and FIFA Vice-President Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein.[3] The competition has been temporarily postponed due to the issue.
