In a striking scene ahead of Algeria’s match at Moulay Hassan Stadium, Moroccan football fans have launched a wide online campaign to back Congo in its meeting with the Algerian side.
The campaign, led by Moroccan users across social media platforms, has spread quickly under the slogan “الصمطة كدور”, a phrase used to tease Algeria and push support toward its opponent.
Posts supporting Congo appeared in large numbers in the hours leading up to the game, with many accounts sharing messages calling on fans to stand behind the Congolese team and make their voices heard in the stands.
The movement was not limited to match predictions or ordinary fan talk. It carried a clear sporting message aimed at increasing pressure on Algeria during the game at Moulay Hassan, while also highlighting the tension that has recently surrounded football rivalry in the region.
As the match approaches, the campaign continues to grow, with Moroccan supporters insisting that their backing for Congo is a form of sporting competition and a reaction to previous clashes and exchanges in North African football.
