Rumors
“Ittihad Tangier has been playing in the Moroccan top flight since 2015 and won the league title for the first and only time in its history in the 2017-18 season. However, it has struggled in the lower half of the Moroccan league table in recent years,” said Mundo Deportivo of Spain.
The club’s leaders are in a difficult situation because of what happened. Messages have been circulating on social media that the two players were found dead, but that is not true.
“We want to inform you that what is being said is not true. We ask that you refrain from sharing unconfirmed versions out of respect for their families,” the team said.
