Jordan lost 2-1 to Algeria on June 23 at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, a result that left them eliminated with zero points in their first World Cup in history. Two defeats, no qualification, the dream over. Any team would have left with their heads down and the locker room in chaos. 💔
But not them. The Jordanian delegation sanitized every corner of the locker room, organized the lockers, and left the floor without a single piece of trash. On the main table they placed traditional Jordanian sweets and small keepsakes for the stadium staff. And on top of all that, a handwritten letter thanking those who worked during their participation. 🙏
FIFA recorded the spotless locker room, posted the video on its official account, and responded with three words: “Maximum respect”. The post went viral with hundreds of comments from people all over the world who said exactly the same thing: this no longer has anything to do with soccer. It has to do with who these people are when no one is forcing them to be anything. 🇯🇴✨
