Raja Club Athletic issued a clarifying statement following the events that occurred at the Mohammed V Complex during the match against Olympique Safi last Saturday, where a number of fans were denied entry despite having tickets and subscription cards, and there were partial invasions of the stands.

The club stated in its announcement that a large number of subscription cards and tickets were forged, which resulted in some genuine fans being denied normal entry. The club affirmed its right to take legal action against those proven to be involved in these violations, in addition to its communications with the relevant authorities to review the organizational system outside the stadium and prevent the recurrence of such incidents.

The statement indicated that the ticket sales were conducted according to the stadium's capacity, with 20,555 tickets sold, in addition to approximately 14,000 subscription cards, bringing the total attendance to 34,555 spectators, which represents 77 percent of the total capacity of 45,000 seats.

The club also noted that the usual regulatory protocols were followed by holding coordination meetings with the presence of the competent authorities and the company responsible for managing the complex, along with the various parties responsible for organizing the matches.

The statement indicated that tens of thousands of people attempted to gather around the stadium without valid tickets, causing some to breach barriers and creating a state of chaos, which resulted in damage to the infrastructure and affected the club's image and financial resources.

The club concluded its statement by urging its fans to attend future matches only when they have valid tickets or subscriptions, warning against arriving without them. It also reiterated its pride in its fans, whom it described as the team's main support.
