In Montpellier, a teenager died after the match between France and Morocco at the 2022 World Cup
In Montpellier, France, a teenager died after a match between France and Morocco at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. It is reported by The National.
As follows from the statement of local authorities, the boy was hit by a car. He was taken to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save his life. There is no official data on the age of the deceased, however, the French media write that the teenager was from 12 to 14 years old.
According to some reports, the accident occurred when someone tried to steal the French flag from the driver of the car. Because of this, presumably, the car swerved into the crowd. Police are currently searching for the driver who abandoned his car near the crime scene.
Earlier in Paris, the police detained a group of 40 people heading to the Champs-Elysées with weapons of France’s victory in the match with Morocco. It was clarified that some of the detainees are known to French law enforcement officers as members of a movement close to the far right.
On December 14, the French team beat Morocco 2-0 and became the second finalist of the tournament. The first goal in the fifth minute was scored by defender Theo Hernandez. The goal was the fastest in a World Cup semi-final since 1958. At the 79th minute, Randal Kolo Muani hit the opponents’ gate.
On December 18 at 18:00 Moscow time, the French will play in the decisive match with the Argentines, who defeated the Croatian footballers at the 1/2 final stage with a score of 3:0. The French team is the reigning world champion.
