Raja Casablanca Fans Show Solidarity with Algeria After World Cup Elimination

Beaten in the dying moments of extra time in the match against Cameroon in Blida, Algeria will not be able to participate in the world football showcase, scheduled for November.

During the Raja Casablanca-Entente de Sétif match in the African Champions League, played on Sunday evening, the Rajaoui supporters expressed their solidarity by drawing a magnificent tableau, reports TSA. In the stands, one could hear a slogan of brotherhood. "Khawa-Khawa, ma binatnach 3dawa" (brothers, there is no hostility between us!), chanted in unison between the Moroccan and Algerian supporters, it is noted.

On social networks, the Raja supporters also severely criticized the Gambian referee, held responsible for the elimination of the Algerian team. They relayed the sequence showing the Algerian defender of the Saudi club El Feth Sofiane Bendebka celebrating his goal by mimicking the VAR gesture in reference to the referee Gassama who had disallowed Islam Slimani’s goal for handball, adds the same source.

This outpouring of solidarity was hailed by the thousands of Algerian supporters present at this match, which ended in a victory for Raja, (1-0).
