News from Al-Madinah: An informed source claimed on Monday that “high regulatory costs” were to blame for the expensive ticket prices for the national football team’s scheduled fixture against Spain in November.
The national team will host Spain in Amman in an official friendly meeting, the first between them, as the “Al -Mutador” is preparing for the World Cup in Qatar, which starts on November 20.
The cost of hosting a national team the size of Spain is a candidate to win the World Cup title in Qatar, which requires high-cost organisational and security measures, according to the source. As a result, the source estimated that the cost of the upcoming match’s tickets would range from 20 dinars to 135 dinars.
And “tickets are very good prices compared to the value of Spain’s stars,” according to the source, who said that the federation “put more than one segment and degree to allow the opportunity to attend the largest number of fans”, according to the Kingdom.
On Tuesday at 6 o’clock, the Jordan Football Association will begin selling tickets for games online.
The Federation began a marketing campaign for the friendly match two days ago with the tagline “Olé in the stadium,” despite the fact that the Amman International Stadium was closed in order to prepare for the match.
According to Al-Ittihad, the game includes “a number of entertainment paragraphs, starting at six in the evening, and match the expected family atmosphere, in a pleasant football evening, to follow up on the most notable stars of the Spanish Matador in the face of the Nishami squad.”
Al -Ittihad had previously applied to host the Spain national team in 2010, which is preparing for the World Cup, and the national team was chosen between 5 teams that submitted the request, according to the source.
The same source mentioned “negotiations” taking place between the Jordanian Federation and its Egyptian counterpart to arrange a friendly game before taking on Spain’s national side.
Samar Nassar, the Football Association’s secretary general, stated in the “Kingdom” that the federation plans a friendly game for the national squad in November before taking on Spain.
