Fabricated allegations over tournament logo conceal Morocco’s failure in hosting, as Algeria warns of politicized sports manipulation

Algiers, Algeria | July 9th, 2025 — According to credible sources from Dzair Tube, Moroccan media has launched a coordinated campaign of defamation and psychological pressure against the Algerian Women’s National Football Team during their participation in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) hosted in Morocco.

This campaign, strategically premeditated and politically motivated, accuses the Algerian delegation of covering the tournament logo—bearing the name Morocco—on the team bench during the opening match. However, Dzair Tube sources categorically confirm that the tournament’s organizing committee itself covered the logo, as it was originally associated with a local Casablanca football club rather than the CAF competition.

Morocco’s Retaliation for the Western Sahara Blow

Dzair Tube’s investigations reveal that this campaign comes in the aftermath of Morocco’s diplomatic setback at CAF, following the continental body’s decision to exclude Western Sahara from the map of Morocco in official visuals. Moroccan broadcasters were instructed by CAF to air promotional content that omitted the disputed territory, delivering what has been viewed in Rabat as a major political slap.

The Moroccan reaction has been swift—but misdirected. Instead of addressing mounting criticisms over poor infrastructure and incomplete stadiums, Moroccan officials have turned to media disinformation and politicized narratives to deflect public scrutiny.

A Familiar Pattern of Slander and Provocation

Dzair Tube sources warn that these tactics are not new and are part of a recurrent scheme employed by Moroccan entities to destabilize Algerian delegations in international competitions. With the men’s AFCON 2025 also on the horizon, Algerian observers anticipate similar provocations aimed at the senior national team.

Algerians have condemned the “desperate, unethical tactics”, calling on national media and institutions to remain vigilant and united in defending the reputation and dignity of Algerian athletes.

The campaign has also prompted widespread solidarity on social media, with #الجزائر_خط_أحمر (Algeria Is a Red Line) becoming a viral rallying cry against external interference and slander.
