ONE KILLED, FIVE MORE INJURED AS MORROCO FOOTBALL FANS CLASH
One person was killed and five injured in clashes between rival football fans after a cup tie near the Moroccan city of Casablanca, local authorities said Wednesday.
“A group of supporters of Wydad Casablanca (club) stopped a vehicle carrying fans of AS FAR Rabat, throwing stones and the situation degenerated,” they said in a statement.
They said one person died of his injuries after “falling from on top of the vehicle” and five others were hospitalised.
Police made six arrests over the violence which followed a 3-1 defeat for the home club.
Football violence is common in Morocco costing the lives of supporters in March 2016, after which authorities temporarily cracked down on radical supporters clubs.
