"Riotous swelling" penetrates the fields of Morocco.. a release for frustrations and setbacks.

The sports riot tumor returns to spread in the body of Moroccan stands, following the events that occurred during the match between the Royal Army and Raja Casablanca.

Official data reported that the public prosecutor in Rabat ordered the detention of 136 individuals under police custody, while retaining two minors, following the riots that followed the match between the Royal Army and Raja Sports at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex.

Hicham Rmram, a sports expert, stated that "analyzing the recent riot events requires caution; it is difficult to determine the direct causes and how they occurred or to accurately assess the measures taken in the absence of complete information; what we currently see is merely a superficial result that does not reflect the details of the organization or the conditions of fans entering the stadium."

Rmram explained, in a statement to Hespress, that riots are not a sports phenomenon related only to football, but rather a result of social and psychological accumulations carried by youth from outside the walls, where some suffer from frustrations and accumulations for which they have not found spaces to release in entertainment institutions or through listening channels, leading to an explosion of these feelings inside the stadiums.

The speaker emphasized that addressing riots should not "be limited to the stadium only, but must start from society, specifically from within homes, youth centers, associations, and political parties; these institutions are responsible for containing the underlying causes (behind the phenomenon of riots) and directing the energies of youth before they reach the stands charged with tension."

Rmram pointed out that "violence has become a daily phenomenon we see in the streets and administrations, but the stadium contributes to amplifying it due to the crowd and emotional fluctuations, where a football defeat or victory turns into an illusory compensation for the failures of daily life, prompting some to use violence to assert themselves and achieve a perceived victory."

Mohamed Abu Al-Sahl, a sports media expert, expressed his "deep concern regarding the recurring riots in Moroccan stadiums," noting that the security side had detected more than 120 minors before the start of one of the matches.

Although the presence of youth and adolescents in stadiums is a positive thing, Abu Al-Sahl stated in a statement to Hespress, "the law requires the accompaniment of adults, which is currently absent and leads to uncalculated outbursts."

The sports expert considered that the occurrence of these events at the "Prince Moulay Abdellah" complex in Rabat, which underwent rehabilitation, is regrettable, especially since the stadium is about to host an important continental final. He warned that the continuation of these negative images could lead competing clubs or the African Union to fear playing in stadiums that turn into hotspots of violence.
