Australia's Friendly Against Jordan Relocated to Doha Over Security Concerns in Amman.

Australia's soccer friendly against Jordan, scheduled for next Tuesday, has been moved to Doha, Qatar, because of security concerns in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Football Australia said Friday that its request to relocate the match was approved by the Jordan Football Association.

Earlier reporting had said Socceroos players had expressed reluctance to travel to Amman for the fixture, citing security concerns backed by a government travel advisory, with Football Australia weighing options including a move to Doha or southern Europe, or postponing or cancelling the match altogether.
