Roman Amphitheater welcomes football fans for Jordan's World Cup match against Algeria

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.
