Mohamed Yassine, also known as Bernard Tapi, the No. 1 supporter of the Squirrels of Benin. His dedication and passion for the Beninese national team, as well as his distinctive choice to dress in the team’s colors at every match, made him a beloved figure among fans.
Mohamed Yassine’s tragic demise resulting from a traffic accident on September 23, which led to a deep coma, is a great loss for the football community in Benin. His unwavering support, even demonstrated through his motorcycle adorned in the national team’s colors, showcased his commitment to the sport.
It is unfortunate that the call for assistance made by the Beninese press a few days ago could not prevent this tragic outcome. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and the entire community of Squirrels supporters mourning his loss.
