The gains from the national football team's participation in the Arab Cup transcended the sports framework to achieve significant tourism and promotional gains for Jordan, alongside showcasing a bright civilized image of the Jordanian audience known for its high morals, and genuine sportsmanship.
The Chivalrous team achieved a notable sports achievement by becoming the runner-up in the Arab Cup 2025, after a heroic performance in the final, which was described as one of the most beautiful matches in the history of the tournament, adding this achievement to the record of Jordanian football, and enhancing Jordan's presence and stature in international forums.
The team, through its distinguished performance and striking results, along with high sportsmanship and the ethics of its players, received widespread praise from Arab media and fans who commended the team, and began searching for Jordan's tourist, religious, and archaeological landmarks, contributing to a dignified representation of the Kingdom, and encouraging Arab and foreign citizens to visit Jordan and enjoy its diverse tourist attractions.
The heritage events organized by the Jordanian audience in various locations in Qatar, especially in the "Souq Waqif", introduced Jordanian authentic customs and traditions, which were admired by all, and led many Arab fans to emulate and follow them, adding a new cultural gain to the gains of the Chivalrous participation in the tournament.
Perhaps the most profound statement in this context was expressed by one Arab fan who described the cohesion between the leadership and the people of Jordan as an ideal state to be emulated, citing the continuous royal support for the team in international tournaments, and the keen interest of HRH Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, the Crown Prince, in following the team's details and supporting them from the stands, in a lively image that reflects the depth of love and harmony between the leadership and the people, and presents a dignified example of Jordan to the world.
Deputy Abdel Halim Ananbeh, who was present in Qatar to support the national team, confirmed that the gains from participating in the Arab Cup exceeded the limits of sports achievement, to reach a level of comprehensive promotion for Jordan on various levels.
He pointed out that the distinguished and elegant performance provided by the team attracted everyone's attention and received wide acclaim, prompting many to discuss Jordan across all its sectors, while the Jordanian audience reflected a bright and clear image of the loyal Jordanian people to their homeland and leadership, and steadfastly supporting their national team to achieve the best results and accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Khaled Arabiyat, president of Al-Salt Club, confirmed that what the team achieved during the recent period deserves praise and recognition, noting that this achievement has clearly contributed to the tourism promotion of Jordan, considering that the Chivalrous achievement in Qatar has enhanced the local public's confidence in the team, ahead of its historic participation in the World Cup finals.
In turn, my colleague Mohammed Haseeba, who accompanied the team on its journey in the Arab Cup, said that the results of "Khaberni" prompted many Arab brethren to discuss Jordan in terms of tourism, culture, and economy, and the interest extended to traditional clothing, food, and customs and traditions, contributing to the promotion of the kingdom and its tourist and religious landmarks.
It should be noted that the national team has returned from Qatar, and will soon begin the preparation and training phase for participation in the World Cup finals 2026, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada next June.
