The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in France has taken legal action following a series of incidents targeting Moroccan supporters and national symbols in Aubervilliers. The events unfolded after the World Cup 2026 match between Morocco and Canada, prompting the embassy to condemn the actions in the strongest terms.
The official statement released by the embassy described the acts as severe violations of diplomatic decorum and called for immediate intervention from French authorities. Video footage and testimonies have been cited as evidence of the flag being publicly torn, burned, and stomped on by individuals hailing from neighboring Algeria, accompanied by hostile chants.
Local authorities are now investigating the incident, which has sparked outrage among Moroccan communities both in France and abroad. The embassy has demanded swift legal repercussions to uphold the dignity of national symbols and ensure the safety of foreign missions.
