Fans of Raja de Casablanca are set to be conspicuously absent from the eagerly anticipated match against Union Touarga Sports (UTS) this Saturday, February 17, at the Prince Héritier Moulay El Hassan stadium in Rabat. The decision to prohibit the travel of Raja supporters has been confirmed by informed sources, citing consultations between local authorities in Rabat and Casablanca.
This surprising move, disclosed by an authoritative figure close to the matter, sheds light on the restrictive measures taken ahead of the 19th day of the Botola Pro D1 Inwi.
The decision comes as a result of collective discussions aimed at ensuring a secure and controlled environment for the upcoming clash between the two teams.
While both Raja de Casablanca and AS FAR currently share the top spot in the Botola standings with 40 points each, Union Touarga Sports holds the 6th position with 25 points.
The absence of Raja’s fervent supporters from the stadium is expected to have an impact on the dynamics of the match, as the vocal and passionate fanbase of the Greens has traditionally played a significant role in boosting team morale during crucial encounters.
The decision, though met with disappointment from the Raja faithful, underscores the commitment of local authorities to maintaining order and security during football events.
The upcoming match between Raja de Casablanca and Union Touarga Sports promises to be a riveting spectacle, even in the absence of the Green Brigade’s spirited presence.
