Amman, July 2 (Petra) -- FIFA President Gianni Infantino has extended a message of thanks and appreciation to the Jordanian national football team, nicknamed "Nashama," following the conclusion of their historic debut appearance at the 2026 World Cup.

Infantino posted a photo on his official Instagram account showing the national team players celebrating a goal, accompanied by the caption "Thank you" in both Arabic and English, praising the team's performances throughout the tournament.

The FIFA president emphasized that the national team scoring its first-ever goal in World Cup history was a "beautiful moment for the entire team and the nation." He expressed his admiration for Jordan's goal against current world champions Argentina during their final group stage match.

Infantino added that the national team's journey in the tournament have "inspired millions back home," encouraging the team to maintain their development by saying, "Continue your upward trajectory, and see you soon." The message from the head of world football's governing body underscores the positive impact left by the Jordanian national team in their debut World Cup appearance, where their standout performances earned widespread praise from international observers and global media.
