Zalayet Criticized Over Ceuta Shirt
Moroccan player Abdessamad Zeljoul, who plays for Real Betis in Spain, faced widespread criticism on social media after wearing a shirt bearing the phrase "Todos Somos Caballas" ("We Are All Caballas"). The shirt was worn as a sign of solidarity with the residents of the city of Ceuta, which is under Spanish control, during a match against Villarreal. This incident led Zeljoul to delete his picture on Instagram after receiving hundreds of comments containing criticisms and threats from Moroccan followers, who argued that his participation reflected a political or personal stance regarding the city. Some comments considered that the gesture was a collective effort by players from both teams rather than a personal statement, affirming his connection to Morocco and supporting Ceuta and Melilla's right to be considered part of Morocco.
