Players vie for the ball.

KUWAIT CITY, June 21: Jordanian media reports indicate that Hassan Hamdan, defender for Al-Arabi and the Jordan national team, is close to completing a move to Al-Ramtha. Hamdan has established himself as one of Jordan’s standout defenders in recent years, earning a regular place in both his club and national team lineups.

Al-Ramtha fans have fueled speculation, widely sharing Hamdan’s photos on social media, suggesting the deal is in its final stages.

Despite Al-Arabi chairman Abdulaziz Ashour previously stating that all "Green" players remain under long-term contracts, and Hamdan himself affirming his commitment to the club last week, interest in the player has surged following reports of a cancelled agreement between clubs.

Al-Ramtha, who finished fourth in the Jordanian Pro League last season, is actively rebuilding its squad after a two-year transfer ban, targeting quality reinforcements in all areas.

Moroccan forward Hamza Khaba, who spent the last two seasons with Al-Arabi, is expected to return to his homeland. The player is in advanced talks with Royal Army Club (FAR Rabat), despite receiving an offer from the Saudi side, Al-Qadsiya.

Al-Arabi has opted not to renew Khaba’s contract, paving the way for his move back to the Moroccan league, which he reportedly prefers at this stage in his career.

Al-Nasr’s board has confirmed the continuation of Tunisian coach Jamil Belkacem for another season. Belkacem, who joined the team last September following the departure of Kuwaiti coach Dhaher Al-Adwani, has been entrusted with leading the team’s upcoming campaign.

Meanwhile, midfielder Bandar Al-Barazi has officially exited Al-Nasr and signed with Kazma SC.

Kuwait Club has renewed the contracts of key players Reda Hani and Mohammed Fareeh for another season. Both players were instrumental in the club’s successful 2023–24 season, contributing to Kuwait’s domestic treble: the Zain Premier League, Crown Prince Cup, and Super Cup.
