Rateb Al-Awadat (Arabic: راتب العوضات; 13 October 1970 – 26 March 2021) was a Jordanian footballer, who was a left-back who started his career with Hittin (Marka) Refugee camp[1] team then joined Al-Faisaly until he retired and became a coach.
He was part of the Jordanian national team from 1998 to 2008, where he earned 46 caps scoring one goal.
As the match referee blew his whistle after the first 5 minutes to stop the match for Rateb to leave the field, Rateb gave the captain armband to his old international teammate Hatem Aqel as well as his #4 jersey to his old teammate of Al-Faisaly Qusai Abu Alieh.
In January 2021, Al-Awadat was treated for cancer at the Hadassah Medical Center, Israel.
