Jordan REFUSES Match Against “Israel” in U19 Basketball World Cup!

In a bold and principled move, the Jordan U-19 basketball team has withdrawn from their scheduled Group C match against “Israel” at the FIBA U-19 Basketball World Cup in Switzerland. The decision, approved by the Jordan Basketball Federation’s board, reflects a strong stand of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

FIBA officially confirmed Jordan’s withdrawal and awarded “Israel” a 20-0 win by default according to tournament rules. The move sparked widespread praise across social media throughout the Arab world, with many calling it a “moral victory greater than any sporting result.”

Jordan’s stance sends a powerful message that some causes go beyond the game. Standing firm with resistance and courage.
