Real Madrid honour Moroccan earthquake fan
Spanish giants Real Madrid have paid a touching tribute to a young Moroccan fan who tragically lost his family during the devastating 2023 earthquake in Morocco.
The boy, whose story captured global attention, was invited to the Santiago Bernabéu, where he was hosted by the club’s president, players, and coaching staff. In an emotional moment, he received a personalized jersey signed by the entire squad and was allowed to walk out with the team before kickoff.
Photos shared on Real Madrid’s official channels show the youngster smiling alongside stars like Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé, symbolizing the club’s message of solidarity with Morocco.
Club officials said the gesture was part of Real Madrid’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian causes, particularly in moments of global tragedy. The Spanish champions had earlier sent financial aid and relief materials to Morocco in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Fans across social media have praised the move, describing it as a powerful reminder of football’s ability to bring hope and healing in the face of loss.
