Amman FMC 2025

Kamel Hammouri delivered the definitive performance of the meet by locking in a Jordan national record average of 1:59.76 in the 6x6x6 Cube, breaking the two-minute barrier in style. That commanding display anchored the competition at The Idea Chamber in Amman, Jordan on September 20, 2025. As the late-season calendar narrows, the gathering brought together eight dedicated competitors to contest three specialized disciplines across three single-round battles. Hammouri set the standard early with an exceptional 1:56.45 single on the big cube, proving that late-season form can yield peak career marks.

Across the broader speedcubing schedule, late-year specialty fixtures offer a focused environment where athletes target niche events outside the standard weekend circuit. Amman FMC 2025 served precisely that role for the regional community, staging intense rounds in Fewest Moves, big cubes, and blindfolded execution. With smaller fields and concentrated focus, competitors pushed their technical limits across a demanding slate. The single-day WCA competition highlighted how critical precision becomes when there are no preliminary rounds to fall back on, demanding immediate execution from the opening turn.

The 3x3x3 Fewest Moves discipline served as a central fixture, demanding deep analysis rather than rapid physical turning. Solving a standard Rubik's Cube with minimal rotations requires rigorous theoretical knowledge and patience. Hammouri emerged on top once again, securing victory with a winning average of 38.00 moves and a round-best single of 33. The tactical battle remained tight across the scorecards, as Abdallah Almaharmeh earned second place with a 41.33 average, edging Omar Hijazi who captured third place with an average of 41.67 moves.

The complex 4x4x4 Blindfolded event brought supreme difficulty to the venue, testing memory, spatial orientation, and composure without visual feedback. Zakarya Otair mastered the challenge, claiming first place with a winning single of 5:51.29. With only two entrants taking on the rigorous blindfold discipline, Otair secured the victory despite registering a DNF on average, while Omar Hijazi faced DNFs across his attempts. Managing a successful sub-six-minute resolution under blind conditions stood as one of the most technically impressive accomplishments of the entire day.

Away from the top steps of the podium, several competitors logged major personal breakthroughs that standard standings often obscure. Mahmoud Muhaisen took to the competition floor for the very first time in his career, making his official debut and securing fourth place in the 6x6x6 Cube with a mark of 9:43.13. Meanwhile, Mukhlis Mokhles entered the 6x6x6 Cube arena for the first time in his competitive journey, recording a time of 6:52.38 to finish fifth overall in the single-round event.

The 3x3x3 Fewest Moves contest also provided a platform for fresh milestones among seasoned and developing participants. Saleh Janem took on his first ever official attempt at 3x3x3 Fewest Moves, demonstrating sharp tactical judgment to post a single of 56 moves and take fourth place. Amin Alramahi likewise tackled his first career attempt in the event, finishing sixth with a solid 61-move single. These expanded repertoires added genuine depth to the gathering, showing competitors branching out into complex formats.

In the 6x6x6 Cube, the podium reflected intense competition behind Hammouri's national record standard. Zakarya Otair put together a remarkably steady series of solves to take second place with an average of 2:34.30 and a best single of 2:24.38. Abdallah Almaharmeh followed in third position, posting an average of 2:44.99 to complete an all-Jordan podium sweep. The event demonstrated the rapid growth of big cube proficiency within the region during this 2025 campaign.

The gathering proved to be a resounding success for the domestic contingent, with Jordanian competitors capturing all eight available podium placements across the three events. As the speed cubing season advances, the results from Amman FMC 2025 offer a clear benchmark for future tactical tournaments. From national record averages to successful blindfolded executions and first-time event debuts, the single-day meet provided memorable moments across every puzzle type.

Looking back at the complete 3x3 results and big cube scorecards, the event illustrated the enduring value of specialized fixtures on the competitive calendar. The Idea Chamber provided an ideal setting for careful calculation and swift execution alike. As athletes carry these achievements forward into the upcoming competition cycle, Amman FMC 2025 will be remembered as a decisive stop where technical preparation translated into historic domestic milestones.
