While Algeria secured a 2–1 victory over Jordan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, celebrations and emotions spilled over into violence far from the stadium.
In Doha, Qatar, supporters of both nations were involved in a major altercation that reportedly led to 25 arrests.
The incident occurred during a public screening of the Group J encounter in a shopping mall in the Qatari capital.
Earlier in the match, Jordan had taken the lead through Nizar Al-Rashdan before Algeria completed a comeback to claim an important win in the race for qualification to the round of 16.
As the game was being shown on a giant screen, tensions escalated among spectators. Videos shared online appear to show groups of supporters throwing chairs and creating panic inside the restaurant area where fans had gathered.
The exact cause of the confrontation has not yet been established, but the scenes quickly spread across social media and drew strong reactions due to the scale of the disorder.
