Moroccans have been preoccupied in recent hours with the incident of the loss of two players from the Tangier Football Club, after their boat drifted due to winds and waves, during a tourist tour on the beaches of the city of Tetouan in northern Morocco.
Five players from the Ittihad Tangier team decided to go out for a sea excursion on a small tourist boat on Saturday, and they all jumped into the water to swim, but the winds and waves took the boat away from them a long distance, making them unable to catch it.
Civil defense crews intervened and were able to rescue three players, as the players Salman Al-Harrak and Abdel Latif Akhrif are still missing, and search operations continue in the beaches of Tetouan, Fnideq, Martil and M’diq to determine their whereabouts.
There is anticipation among families, families and sports fans, especially fans of the Tangier Club team. Moroccans express their concern and sympathy for the missing players, especially after the chances of finding them alive diminished more than 24 hours after the accident occurred.
In statements to local media, the president of the Tangier Federation, Mohamed Cherkaoui, denied what was circulated regarding the discovery of the body of a player. He confirmed that searches are still ongoing.
