Moroccan Soccer Star Benatia Rides Motorcycle to Mosque in Traditional Djellaba

Fans of Moroccan international Medhi Benatia were pleasantly surprised to see a video that he shared on Instagram. He did not hesitate to film himself on a motorcycle, wearing a white and gold Moroccan djellaba.

He was not wearing a helmet, but the hood of the djellaba seems to fit him perfectly. Internet users reacted to these photos of the central defender of the Qatari club Al Duhail, many interpreting them as a sign of the player’s pride in his Moroccan origins.

The Moroccan international had stated just after leaving Italy that he had opted for a Qatari team so that his children could live in an Islamic environment.
