Saïd Amzazi, the governor of the Souss-Massa region and the prefect of Agadir Ida-Outanane, has issued a decree prohibiting Wydad Casablanca fans from attending the postponed match against Hassania Agadir scheduled for Tuesday, December 26th, at the Adrar Stadium in Agadir.
The decision by the regional governor is part of a series of measures periodically implemented by local authorities to mitigate the risk of disorder between supporters of Moroccan football clubs.
Such measures often involve restricting the away fans’ travel to the city hosting the match.
These precautionary actions aim to maintain public order and ensure the safety of all attendees during football events.
Authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to uphold a peaceful and secure environment, particularly when high-profile matches involve teams with passionate fanbases.
The specific details surrounding the ban and the rationale behind it were not explicitly outlined in the available information.
However, it aligns with a broader strategy adopted by authorities across the country to prevent potential clashes between rival fan groups, safeguarding both the teams and their supporters.
It is worth noting that these measures, while occasionally deemed restrictive by some fans, contribute to the overall safety and smooth execution of football competitions.
The decision to restrict the mobility of away fans is one among several strategies employed to uphold the spirit of fair play and maintain a positive atmosphere in the stadiums.
As the Wydad Casablanca and Hassania Agadir teams prepare to face each other on the pitch, the focus on safety measures underscores the commitment to fostering an environment where football enthusiasts can enjoy the sport without compromising public order.
