IRNA - Iran physical education supremo Mohsen Mehralizadeh arrived here Tuesday night.
The vice-president told IRNA he has traveled to Amman to watch the second-leg 2006 World Cup qualifier between Iran and Jordan Wednesday night.
"During my stay, I will meet Jordanian King Abdullah, Prime Minister Faisal al-Fayez, and other ranking officials," added Mehralizadeh.
The visiting official said he would discuss bilateral ties with the Jordanians.
