Campaign calls for Jordanians to submit slogans for upcoming women football cup

AMMAN — The organising committee of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup (WAC) has announced an online campaign asking Jordanian football fans to propose a suitable slogan for the upcoming competition, which is scheduled to take place in Amman between April 4 and 20.

Farah Badarneh, CEO of the organising committee, said the camping will run through February, noting that the chosen slogan will be unveiled during a ceremony held at the end of February. 

“As an organising committee, we can definitely come up with a slogan, but we want to make Jordanians involved in the organisation process. We want them to be aware that the competition is coming closer,” she told The Jordan Times over the phone. 

She said that the committee is seeking for a slogan in Arabic, which will later be translated into English. 

A statement by the organisers stated that the slogan should not exceed three words, which should reflect on Jordan and the people’s enthusiasm for the competition.  

“We shared the campaign through the women footage Facebook page. So far, we have received over 100 suggestions but, if we share it though other pages, we might get a satisfying outreach,” Badameh added. 

The official described the campaign as “significant”, saying “we want to make each football fan a part of this tournament”.
