Aligned with its commitment to empowering youth and promoting positive values, as well as expanding the scope of the "For Good Connections" campaign to create a safe online environment and combat cyberbullying, Orange Jordan has announced its collaboration with IRIS International Sports Academy to unlock youth talents through its sponsorship of the Iker Casillas Challenge. The Challenge comprised three phases. The first phase involved evaluating talents aged 10 to 12 by a group of Jordanian football legends in cities including Irbid, Zarqa, Karak, Ma'an, Tafilah, Aqaba, and Amman. In the second stage, the selected talents were assessed by world champion Iker Casillas himself. The final phase will include the selected team traveling to Spain. Orange Jordan emphasized that sports and positivity are integral to youth development, providing essential avenues for them to explore their identities and unlock their potential from an early age. The company highlighted the continuous growth of Jordan's sports sector, noting that identifying and nurturing talent to participate in this field and represent the kingdom on international occasions is a mission it proudly supports. This significant initiative aligns with Orange Jordan's ongoing efforts to expand its Anti-cyberbullying campaign named the 'The Positive Gang", which was launched in 2024 to promote digital culture. It reflects Orange's commitment as the true Responsible Digital Leader, aiming to empower individuals aged 12 to 28, along with parents, educators, and influencers, to engage in healthy and safe digital interactions. It is part of the broader "For Good Connections" initiative introduced by the Orange Group to foster a secure and positive online environment for all users.

Spanish footballer Iker Casillas visits Jordan's Petra
Spanish goalkeeping legend Iker Casillas visited the ancient city of Petra this week, marking the second day of his stay in Jordan as part of a major initiative to scout and develop young football talent. Casillas arrived in Amman to participate in the fourth edition of the IRIS International Sports Academy's challenges, an event titled 'The Iker Casillas Challenge,' which aims to identify and nurture promising football players across the Kingdom. Joining him on the visit is former Real Madrid teammate Míchel Salgado. The duo will oversee the final stage of player selection during an interactive sporting event designed to spotlight emerging football talent in Jordan. The final round, set to take place on Tuesday, May 13, will feature 24 players—narrowed down from more than 8,000 participants born in 2012, 2013, and 2014—who were selected through preliminary qualifiers held across the country. Those chosen will earn the opportunity to represent Jordan in an international tournament in Spain. Louay Shomaly, the founder of IRIS, told Roya Sports that the presence of global football icons like Casillas significantly boosts Jordan's profile as both a sporting and tourism destination. He noted that the academy has been committed since its inception to discovering and supporting young footballers from all Jordanian governorates. 'This year's program builds on the successes of previous editions. We've already seen many young players rise through the ranks thanks to this initiative,' Shomaly said. 'It's also an important platform for showcasing Jordan's potential on the international stage.' He also expressed his gratitude to all sponsors and supporters, reaffirming the academy's ongoing mission to invest in youth and provide pathways for them to excel in global competitions.
