Marrakech: An Algerian arrested with a Polisario t-shirt at the Grand Stadium

During the routine checks before the Algeria-Nigeria match, the security services intercepted the supporter. The latter was wearing a t-shirt bearing the Algerian flag associated with the emblem of the Polisario. The man was immediately arrested and the garment was seized by the authorities, in accordance with the regulations that prohibit any political propaganda in the stadiums.

The supporter was brought before the public prosecutor’s office for the opening of legal proceedings. In parallel, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) took an immediate administrative measure by banning him from accessing the stadium. A second similar incident was also reported in Marrakech.
