Jordanian players enter the dark tunnel and the unknown fate after retiring from their decline from the realm of stardom and the lights of stadiums to the ground and marginalization and live a miserable life because most of them lack the educational qualifications, and the inability of only a few of them to work in training or the administrative side of clubs and teams.
The Jordanian media recently revealed cases of stranded and retired players who were unable to meet the basic requirements of life in light of the modest monthly income they receive, until one of them got to pick up food from the "container" waste bins!
The Jordanian newspaper "Al-Anbat" says that "the player of Al-Jazira Club and the Jordanian team in the golden age, Kamel Muneeb (who died a few days ago) died forcibly after he lived miserable and his health worsened due to various diseases that met him. The happiness of the masses when he was a player referred to as Lebanon, which he missed after a long period of suffering when the doctors decided to amputate it in order to preserve his life after the disease penetrated his body and became the last cautery treatment. "
The newspaper added: "Muneeb struggled and tried more than once to explain his suffering to people and officials and at the highest levels, and he was the one who lost his leg and the diseases gathered until he embraced the soul without finding someone to stand with him in his ordeal."
The late Kamel Munib may be better than other stars who were brought up by life, led by Al-Ahly and the national team in the era of the sixties Abdel Moneim Suleiman, known as "Abu Al-Kik", (74 years).
The Jordanian newspaper, Al-Ghad, revealed that "the former player collects cans of soft drinks, plastic bags and (scrap), after everyone abandoned him and started eating some of his food from the waste container," as he described it, and quoted in his tongue: "Eat me meat and throw me bone!"
The Jordanian media, writers and critics have called for the necessity of the intervention of Jordanian sports officials to allocate a special fund to support difficult cases and save such retired players who do not have income after the end of their career in the stadiums.
