DUBAI: Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II and Princess Rajwa joined supporters in the stands as the kingdom’s national football team made their historic FIFA World Cup debut against Austria.
The royal couple, accompanied by Prince Hashem bin Abdullah, attended the match at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in the US, where Jordan took to football’s biggest stage for the first time.
Crown Prince Hussein shared a video from inside the stadium ahead of the start as Jordan’s national anthem was played, capturing the significance of the occasion for the kingdom.
The appearance came days after the crown prince met members of the national team before the tournament. Sharing footage from the visit on social media, he wrote: “We are all behind you.”
Austria claimed a 3-1 victory in the match, marking their first FIFA World Cup finals win since 1990.
