Amman, June 20 (Petra) – The Ministry of Youth and the Greater Amman
Municipality, in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and
Antiquities, the Ministry of Government Communications, and the
Jordan Tourism Board, hold more public events for football fans at
the Roman Amphitheater, Hashemite Square, and the Odeon Theater in
downtown Amman for the national football team’s World Cup match
against Algeria on Tuesday, which will be broadcast live on huge
screens.
It will feature a patriotic atmosphere bringing Jordanians behind
their national team, said organizers.
The event followed a remarkable turnout at the Roman Amphitheater for
the Jordanian team’s “Al Nashama” first match in a show of national
unity behind the Jordanian squad in its historic World Cup debut.
The match against Algeria at 6:00 AM Tuesday, June 23, will be live
on television, with gates at the venues opening to the public two
hours ahead of kickoff.
Organizers expected upcoming matches will attract large crowds, and
have designated areas for families, youth, and people with
disabilities with clear entry and exit routes, as well as spots for
the media, to ensure a safe experience for all.
Screens and additional viewing areas will also be available, while
ensuring that entry will be limited to capacity and in accordance
with regulations.
Football enthusiasts are urged to show up early, heed instructions,
and preserve the Roman Amphitheater, one of the capital’s key
historical landmarks.
They are also called on to wear red jerseys, Al Nashama’s away kit,
and bring with them Jordanian flags and shemagh (keffiyeh) to cheer
on their team, giving a patriotic touch to the atmosphere.
The event holds special significance at the Roman Amphitheater,
Amman’s timeless landmark and a site etched in the city’s memory for
nearly 2,000 years.
Today, Jordanians stand together behind their national team in an
exceptional sporting and patriotic moment.
