One Dead, Several Injured After Jordan's Loss to Algeria

One person has died and eight others were hospitalized with injuries in Amman following a mass stampede during and around Jordan's World Cup match against Algeria, the country's Ministry of Interior announced. The two teams clashed in Santa Clara, USA, where Jordan suffered a complete turnaround, losing 1-2 in the group stage.

Authorities reported that one fan succumbed to their injuries, while eight others were admitted to the hospital in stable to moderate condition. Football fans had gathered in Hashemite Square in downtown Amman in the early hours of Tuesday to collectively watch the match.
