After the Saudi Arabia football team was in the wrong end of a drubbing, the Moroccan fans did not hide their joy and expressed their delight at the defeat of the fellow Arab country.

In St. Petersburg streets, while fans of both Iran and Morocco were having a jolly time taunting each other in a peaceful and light-hearted atmosphere, the Moroccan fans burst into extra celebration after hearing the result of the opening match between the host Russia and Saudi Arabia. The Russians scored 5 against the hapless Saudis.

Several reasons for the expression of joy by the Moroccan fans were mentioned depending on whom you talk to. The majority mentioned that the Saudis have betrayed their country Morocco in the competition for hosting the 2026  FIFA World Cup., “Not only Saudi Arabia, which claims to be a brother Arab country , did not vote in favor of Morocco, they actually lobbied for America  and influenced other Arab countries to do so as well. That is betrayal to me and they deserved to be humiliated and beaten”

“The least they deserved” said another laughing Moroccan fan who was holding Iran flag in addition to his own country’s.

Some fans targeted a Saudi Official Turki Al Shaikh for abuse.

Iranian fans joined the Moroccans in their celebration in a unique scene.
