Moroccan player mocks Senegal after Belgium defeats them in World Cup 2026
Moroccan international Mohamed Chibi mocked Senegal on Instagram after their 3-2 extra-time loss to Belgium in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 on Wednesday, July 2, 2026. Chibi, who was not selected for Morocco’s squad, posted a video clip showing the final score with the caption ‘go and cry now.’ The mockery comes amid heightened tensions after the controversial Africa Cup of Nations final on January 18, 2026, where Senegal protested a disallowed goal and a VAR decision, walked off the pitch for about 14 minutes, and later had their title stripped, handing Morocco the championship despite an ongoing appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The incident matters because it reignites a fierce rivalry that already spilled over from continental to world competition. Senegalese fans feel the mockery adds insult to injury after a painful exit, while Moroccan supporters see it as justified retaliation. The ongoing feud could affect fan behaviour at future matches and heighten tensions whenever the two nations meet, both on and off the pitch.
Given the charged atmosphere, fans should consider how sportsmanship and respect shape the enjoyment of the game. Will you let on‑field rivalries spill into personal hostility, or will you choose to celebrate the sport regardless of the outcome?
