HIBAPRESS – I. As-Simlali
The Moroccan artist Mohamed Rifii reopened the discussion about Morocco's organization of the African Cup of Nations, after he called through his Instagram account to launch the hashtag "We no longer want the African Cup in our country," expressing a position rejecting the continuation of hosting the tournament in the current circumstances.
Rifii's call came after the events that accompanied the final of the African Cup of Nations, which witnessed tensions and acts of violence inside and outside the stands, in addition to behaviors attributed to some participating fans, which were considered contrary to the spirit of sportsmanship and offensive to the image of the continental competition. Rifii implicitly considered that the size of the organizational efforts made by Morocco is not always met with the required commitment and discipline from all parties, stressing that football should remain a field of fair competition, not a space for chaos or abuse.
