Moroccan Goalkeeper Stranded as Iran-Israel Conflict Disrupts Saudi Flights
Monday 15 April 2024, by
Munir El Kajoui, the goalkeeper of the Moroccan national football team, was unable to return to his club Al-Wehda from Spain on Sunday due to the cancellation of flights following the Iranian bombing on Israel.
Munir El Kajoui flew to Spain after Eid al-Fitr, which he celebrated with his family in Nador, Morocco. But the Moroccan international was unable to return to Saudi Arabia to resume training with his club due to the cancellation of flights to and from that country, following the Iranian bombing on Israel.
Thus, all flights to the north were suspended and many flights to and from Saudi Arabia were canceled. Some flights to and from Saudi Arabia that usually cross the airspace of the crisis zone including Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Iran have been diverted.
