Amman, 25 June (Petra) The Roman Theatre, Hashemite Plaza and the Odeon Theater in downtown Amman, will host live public screenings for fans to watch the Jordan national football team's clash with Argentina, as part of nationwide celebrations, marking Jordan’s historic first qualification to the FIFA World Cup.

Ministry of Youth, Greater Amman Municipality, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Ministry of Government Communication, and the Jordan Tourism Board are jointly organizing the events across the 3 sites.

The match is scheduled for 5 a.m. on Sunday, 28 June, as gates will open at 3 a.m., two hours before kickoff.

Organizers said previous screening events drew "strong" public turnout, reflecting "widespread" national pride and unity behind the national team, while also highlighting Jordan’s sporting achievement on the global stage.

They added that screenings at archaeological and tourist sites provide international visibility for Jordan’s heritage, supporting efforts to promote tourism and showcase the country’s cultural and historical assets.

Additionally, security and logistical preparations are in place, including designated entry and exit routes, crowd management teams, and strict adherence to venue capacity limits.

To ensure safety, authorities urged fans to arrive early, follow security instructions, avoid overcrowding, and preserve the integrity of the heritage sites, encouraging participants to display national flags and traditional symbols in support of the team.

The Roman Theatre, a landmark dating back nearly two millennia, will serve as a symbolic setting for the public gathering, blending historical heritage with a national sporting milestone.

Organizers said the events underscore evolution of the team’s World Cup qualification into a broader national occasion extending beyond sport.
