- Jordan’s Adham Al Quraishi suffers ACL injury in Arab Cup final, prompting outpouring of fan support.
While Jordan’s national team, Al-Nashama, celebrated a historic runner-up finish at the 2025 Arab Cup, a shadow of sorrow fell over the squad as star player Adham Al Quraishi suffered a severe injury.
Shocking diagnosis and urgent surgery
Sources told Roya News that detailed medical examinations and MRI scans in Doha confirmed a complete tear of Al Quraishi’s right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
He will not return immediately to Amman with the team, as he is scheduled to undergo urgent surgery in Qatar in the coming days. The operation is expected to take place at the world-renowned Aspetar hospital, ensuring he receives top-tier medical care ahead of his rehabilitation journey.
Tragic final seconds
The timing of the injury added to the heartbreak. In the last ten seconds of the second extra time period, as Jordan pushed for an equalizer to make it 2-3, Al Quraishi launched a fast counterattack in hopes of a final miracle.
In that decisive moment, a heavy collision with a Moroccan player caused him to fall painfully, clutching his knee. The referee blew the final whistle while Al Quraishi remained on the ground, unable to stand and greet fans or participate fully in the post-match celebrations.
A blow to the team and fan support
The injury is a significant setback for both the national team and Al Quraishi’s club, especially after his heroic performances throughout the tournament, where he was a key contributor to Jordan’s journey to the final.
Social media erupted with messages of support for the player, wishing him a speedy recovery and a strong return to the field, praising his sacrifice and spirit as emblematic of Al-Nashama’s relentless determination.
