On April 30, 2026, the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, was vandalized during the Classico match between AS FAR and Raja Casablanca in the Botola Pro league. The stadium, which is set to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) final, suffered damage to seats, railings, and other infrastructure.
According to reports from Moroccan media, the violence erupted after the match, with fans throwing objects and causing destruction. Security forces intervened to restore order, and several arrests were made. The exact number of arrests and the extent of the damage have not been officially confirmed.
The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) condemned the incidents and stated that an investigation is underway. The federation also emphasized that such acts will not be tolerated, especially with the CAN 2025 tournament approaching.
The CAN 2025 final is scheduled to take place at the same stadium in July 2026. Authorities have assured that repairs will be completed in time for the event.
