Football ultra supporters of Tunsian Club Africain cheer during a CAF confederation cup group stage match against Angola's Academica Petroleos do Lobito at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Tunis on March 3, 2024. In the Maghreb, where political speech is often harshly policed, football stadiums have long been an exception. Now, fans are using that small freedom to express solidarity for the Palestinians amid the Gaza war. "The Palestinian question unites everyone" in the region, said Abderrahim Bourkia, a Moroccan sociologist who has studied football ultras. "The ultras generally place themselves on the side of the oppressed, so for them, it goes without saying to sing about Palestine."
