Apparently, the eternal losers of Algerian propaganda have once again found their favorite target: Morocco, of course, and this time, its brilliant sporting and financial representative, Fouzi Lekjaa.
In a campaign as slanderous as it is ridiculous, these military-controlled media are attacking a man whose achievements speak for themselves, eclipsing the meager ambitions of their senile masters. A look back at yet another desperate attempt to belittle the unshakeable Moroccan leadership.
According to the first salvo of nonsense relayed by certain polite Algerian media, Lekjaa would be at the center of obscure maneuvers within CAF and FIFA. Nothing less. Without evidence, without facts, but with a good dose of fertile imagination, these propaganda organs present the Moroccan statesman as a manipulator, allegedly involved in “influence games”. Listening to them, Fouzi Lekjaa would spend his time pulling invisible strings to weaken Algeria on the sporting scene.
The unhealthy obsession
The irony in this story? Algeria does not need Lekjaa to undermine its own football. Between catastrophic management of its clubs, a national team with hypothetical ambitions and infrastructures which collapse faster than their slogans, reality is enough to illustrate their decline. So why look for a scapegoat? Perhaps to distract from their own failures.
In another, more fantastic version, these same media accuse Lekjaa of monopolizing power within African and international sporting bodies. His proximity to the leaders of FIFA and CAF, far from being an asset for Africa, would be seen as a threat. Obviously, these accusations come from a country which has never managed to obtain the slightest credibility in these instances, due to lack of strategy or competence.
What is really disturbing is that Lekjaa, through his seriousness and hard work, places Morocco and Africa at the center of international debates. Thanks to him, Morocco is now a key player in world football, with ambitious projects such as CAN 2025, the co-organization of the 2030 World Cup and a national federation which serves as a model. Meanwhile, Algeria continues to try to restore its image with wild accusations that convince no one except them, as good losers.
Moroccan version: the response of a visionary leader
On the Moroccan side, no time to waste with this childishness. Fouzi Lekjaa, as a committed statesman, continues to work for the development of Moroccan and African sport. His efforts within CAF and FIFA demonstrate a clear vision: to make sport a lever for development and international influence. Under his leadership, Morocco has not only multiplied its sporting successes, but it has become a real locomotive for Africa, attracting investments, major events and global recognition.
Lekjaa does not let himself be disturbed by the barking of the Algerian media. Why would he do it? The baseless accusations are just further proof of Algiers’ unhealthy obsession with its western neighbor. Rather than attacking a man who works for his country and his continent, perhaps it would be time for these media to reflect on their own failures. But that would require a minimum of lucidity, a rare commodity on the other side of the border east of Eden.
Fouzi Lekjaa symbolizes everything that Morocco represents: excellence, vision and action. While some are lost in shameful disinformation campaigns, Morocco is moving forward with its ambitions and its achievements. The Algerian slanders only confirm a truth: Morocco is disturbing, and so much the better. This proves that he is on the right track.
So, to the Algerian media at the orders of the two seniles from the balcony of the Muppets show made in Algeria, a small suggestion: the sporting disappointments in Algeria, that is not what is missing the most so it would be better to concentrate on them and sweep ahead at home.
