FAR Rabat covers medical costs of injured supporter after Pretoria stadium fall

AS FAR has stepped in to support a supporter who was seriously injured after falling from the second tier of a stadium during the club’s CAF Champions League match against Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria, South Africa.

According to Hesport sources familiar with the matter, the Moroccan club is covering the medical expenses of the supporter, identified only as Amine, who remains hospitalized in critical condition following the incident during Sunday’s first leg of the CAF Champions League final.

The sources said Amine was scheduled to undergo surgery Monday after the operation was delayed a day because of a lack of available operating rooms at the hospital where he is receiving treatment.

Club officials are also expected to cover the costs of the surgery and continue monitoring his condition until he is fit to return to Morocco for further medical care.

Amine, described by supporters as a longtime loyal fan who regularly traveled with the team both inside and outside Morocco, reportedly suffered multiple fractures to the ribs, shoulder, arm and hand, along with other injuries across his body.

The club’s response followed an online campaign launched by supporters urging assistance for the injured fan.

In a separate case, club officials also coordinated with relevant authorities to help another supporter return to Morocco after he reportedly lost his passport during the trip to Pretoria to support the team
