A large gathering in Amman, Jordan’s capital, to watch the World Cup match between Jordan and Algeria turned tragic when a crowd crush resulted in one fatality and eight injuries. This information comes from a statement by the Jordan News Agency to the Public Security Directorate (PSD), as reported by Arab News.
The incident occurred as thousands of spectators had assembled at the historic Roman Theater in Hachémite Square, Amman. The significant turnout and the resulting crowd movements at the venue led to nine individuals being evacuated to hospitals, one of whom later succumbed to their injuries. The other injured parties are reported to be in a “stable to moderate condition.” An investigation is currently underway by experts to determine the precise cause of death, according to the news agency.
Earlier on Tuesday morning in Amman, several videos circulated on social media depicting Hachémite Square completely filled with fans watching the match on a large screen. Jordan initially took the lead, but Algeria ultimately won the game 2-1, leading to Jordan’s elimination from the World Cup.
