The Secretary-General of Algerian Traders and Craftsmen accused Morocco of "undermining the stability of the Algerian national team in various ways," accusing the Moroccan media of "bias against the team" during its participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. The official used a phrase describing Morocco as "bad neighbors" in statements that sparked controversy.
However, these statements seem far from the reality on the ground, as the Algerian national team and its accompanying fans received a warm welcome and great hospitality. All appropriate conditions were provided for the team and the fans during the matches, reflecting the spirit of sports competition and cooperation between the host and visiting countries. These new statements sparked a wave of controversy, but they are not strange to Algerian officials loyal to the "military" regime who are accustomed to attacking Morocco at every opportunity, even if their team received a warm welcome and their fans expressed their happiness with the warm reception in Morocco as if they were in their own country.
