Impossible to miss this event! A sporting and festive break awaited by an entire people. Last Sunday the African Cup of Nations began with fanfare with the match and victory (2-0) of Morocco against the Comoros. For the occasion, the Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium in Rabat was packed with almost 70,000 Moroccan supporters. Far beyond football fans.
Among them, many personalities had also made the trip, more or less incognito. In a post published on his Instagram account Jamel Debbouze brought this moment to life from the inside. The comedian and actor was notably accompanied by his son Léon Ali.
“This stadium which shines with a thousand lights, this magnificent opening full of fraternity and hope,” wrote Jamel Debbouze in his publication. This organization, this match and this incredible bicycle! What pride this CAN in Morocco! Morocco has once again proven that it is a very great Nation. DIMA MAGHRIB.” A speech that can be translated as “Morocco forever”.
Jamel Debbouze, who was in the stands alongside rapper French Montana, also met – by chance? – Gad Elmaleh, Roschdy Zem in the surrounding streets. Moments of joy that he shared with his almost two million followers on Instagram.
In an interview he gave to Le Parisien before the competition, Gad Elmaleh did not hide his emotion before the CAN organized in Morocco. “I’m in such a state of excitement… I’m both proud, I’m also afraid for them, I’m super moved, very happy, in short, I’m in the heart of a nice mix of emotions. But I tell you frankly, I’m especially nervous! More than that, even: just talking about CAN moves me. (He smiles) I’m full of prayers, superstitions, fears… But everything is positive. With the somewhat crazy course we did at the last World Cup, we can only feel pressure. But it’s motivating. »
