At the end of the match, Tamari's teammates fell on him, drunk with joy. For good reason, Jordan, which had never played in a semi-final in the event, gave itself the right to dream big during the final, Saturday 10 February at 4 p.m. She will know her opponent this Wednesday (4 p.m.), following the match between Iran and Qatar, the host country.

With this qualification from Jordan, the MHSC will therefore have to wait a little longer before recovering their winger, in dazzling form.
