Jordan‑Algeria World Cup 2026 match draws massive fan crowds, fatal crush in Amman

The Group J second‑round clash between Jordan and Algeria in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is being held at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, United States. Both teams need a win to stay in contention for a place in the round‑of‑32. The match is broadcast across the MENA region on beIN SPORTS channels and the TOD streaming app.

Large numbers of Jordanian supporters have gathered in San Francisco, with the Jordanian Association in the city estimating up to 45,000 fans near the stadium. Similar enthusiasm is seen in Jordan, where crowds converged at the Roman Amphitheatre in Amman to watch the game on large screens.

The massive turnout in Amman overwhelmed the venue’s capacity, causing a crowd crush that resulted in one fatality and nine injuries. Security officials said the incident occurred as supporters pressed beyond the amphitheatre’s limits while trying to view the live broadcast.
