Eliminate the evil mafia

About the Moroccan national team – by / Badr Al-Din Al-Idrisi
Of course, we saw a need to trace the disgraceful events that marred the Wydad and Al-Raja matches in the second leg of the African Champions League semi-finals, so we singled them out in this issue that is in your hands, a file that was completed with high professionalism by our colleague in the editorial board, Amin Al-Majdoubi, through which he asked many questions to Our national football scene, interrogative questions and denouncing questions, all inclusive and common to them, are questions of concern. The truth is that we have often asked these questions imbued with apprehension and fear, dispersed according to time contexts and successive events, especially when we are witnessing a new chapter of violence and riots in stadiums. Today it is clear that the evil “mafia” finds its goal in the football matches to which millions of Moroccans flock, either out of passion, or out of adoration and affiliation to this or that team, so it trades, gambles, ignites the black market and falsifies tickets. I knew that she would never fall under the penalty stipulated by law in the anti-riot codes. What do you want a lover or fan of his team to do, and he has deducted from his day’s sustenance a price by which he bought the entrance ticket, he is shocked on the day of the match, that the doors were closed in his face, on the pretext that the stadium stands were filled to capacity, with fans, most of whom entered the stadium with forged tickets or sneaked, or ran Somehow leaked? What do you want a spectator to do, who has been deprived of the dream of watching the match, taken away from his right to enter, or sold a counterfeit ticket? How can all of these not tend to riot, and no one took revenge on them or took away their usurped rights? Of course, I do not underestimate the disastrousness of what happened in particular in the Al-Raja and Al-Ahly match, and a young man in the prime of life is trampled underfoot due to a terrible stampede until she breathed her last and surrendered the soul to her innocent, and I do not accept at all that her blood is wasted, without searching for the perpetrators and those involved. In that disgusting scene, however, I affirm that the scene would have been more disastrous and disastrous, God forbid, if hundreds of those who attacked the gates and wanted to forcefully enter a stadium whose stands were filled two hours before the start of the match had not been dispersed, so there is a need for us to be questioned, held accountable, and punished. Whoever is charged with a crime of any kind, and we seek full rigor in that, and we pass after accountability and accountability in the light of what the investigations will reveal, to adopting a new approach in everything related to the football match, the acquisition of its ticket in a way that resists all forgery, and the criminalization of selling this ticket In the black market, giving this ticket its inviolability, by enabling its holder to reach very smoothly first to the stadium, second to the seat allocated to him, and third by not disturbing him when watching the match. I do not think that it will be impossible for us to upgrade our style in terms of turnout for match theaters, and in reproducing the mechanisms used by FIFA, which we saw a picture of when we hosted the World Cup, and in preserving the dignity of the spectator and lover, who, had it not been for his fascination with football, would not have accepted himself to fall into the quagmire. .. If we are able, let us start working now in this huge and large workshop. We are the ones who say that we are the people of watching and a people who love football to the core.
