A Toxteth teenager has been called to play for the Jordanian national under 17s squad.
Adam Abu Hassan, 14, currently plays for Accrington Stanley under 14s and was second youngest in the Jordan team. Their coaches, impressed by videos of Adam, wrote to Accrington asking for his release to take part in games held in Jordan and their camp in Turkey.
They’re preparing for the Asian Football Confederation Cup Under 17 qualifications later this year. Adam flew to Jordan with his dad, playing in four games in March against under 19 sides from Jordan, Kazakhstan and Turkey.
