This commemorative set was issued by the Government of Jordan in September 1988 to celebrate the 1988 Summer Olympic Games held in Seoul, South Korea. The issue consists of 5 stamps depicting various Olympic sports and symbols, plus 1 souvenir sheet featuring the Seoul Olympics emblem. The set showcases Jordan's participation in and support for the Olympic movement during this significant international sporting event. Each stamp prominently displays the distinctive Seoul Olympics logo with its dynamic swirl design alongside the Olympic rings. The stamps feature stylized illustrations of popular Olympic sports including tennis, basketball, football (soccer), and athletics events like running and swimming. One stamp highlights Hodori, the official mascot of the Seoul Olympics - a friendly tiger character that became an iconic symbol of the games. The souvenir sheet presents the complete Seoul Olympics emblem with both the Games logo and Olympic rings prominently displayed. This philatelic tribute reflects Jordan's commitment to international sports cooperation and the Olympic ideals of excellence, friendship, and respect. The set serves as a colorful commemoration of one of the most successful Olympic Games of the modern era.
