Messi Selfie Ban: Morocco-Argentina Match Sets Strict Fan Rules

Among the other conditions on which the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) have agreed to ensure the smooth running of the next Morocco-Argentina match scheduled in Tangier, there is the (notable) ban on taking selfies with the Argentine football star Lionel Messi.
On March 26, the friendly match where the Atlas Lions will face the Albiceleste will take place in the Grand Stadium of Tangier, a match where Messi will play. However, it should be noted that many conditions had previously been discussed and accepted, including that of preventing Moroccan supporters from taking selfies with Messi.
Thus, during the FC Barcelona-FC Seville match, which had also taken place in Tangier, many supporters would have assailed Lionel Messi with requests for selfies. And Messi would not have appreciated it, according to the newspaper Al Akhbar. This match was part of the Spanish Super Cup final.
So, formal prohibition for supporters to take selfies with Messi during this match scheduled for March 26. It should be recalled that according to some sources, Messi’s presence alone would have cost the FRMF 500,000 euros. And the rest of the team and staff 600,000 euros... The Argentine Federation will receive a total of 1.1 million euros.
