An Algerian supporter has been arrested in Marrakech after wearing a Polisario shirt, according to local reports.
The incident happened in the Moroccan city in the build-up to the match, when the fan appeared in public with the shirt. Police stepped in and the supporter was taken into custody.
The Polisario movement is a politically sensitive subject in Morocco, and public displays linked to it can lead to problems with the authorities. The arrest underlines how quickly a football trip can turn into a legal issue when politics enters the picture.
It has been revealed that the supporter was detained specifically because of the Polisario shirt. No further official details about possible charges or the length of the detention have been confirmed.
The case has drawn attention among fans following the situation in Marrakech, with many pointing to the strict approach taken when political symbols are shown in public.
