The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in France has taken legal action after a series of disturbing incidents targeting Moroccan symbols during the World Cup 2026 match between Morocco and Canada in Aubervilliers. The complaint was filed with French authorities following acts of flag desecration and verbal harassment directed at Moroccan supporters immediately after the game.
Formal condemnation and evidence of misconduct
In an official statement released on Monday, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco condemned the events in the strongest possible terms, describing them as « grave and unacceptable ». The statement emphasized that multiple verified incidents were documented, including the public tearing, burning, and destruction of the Moroccan flag by individuals reportedly shouting slogans linked to Algerian origins.
Legal recourse and diplomatic response
The Embassy’s swift reaction highlights the seriousness with which the Kingdom views such acts, which violate international norms and diplomatic dignity. Authorities are now reviewing the case to ensure accountability for those responsible.
