Moroccan national team fans riot in Brussels (YouTube)
Morocco is in complete frenzy following the qualification of their national team to the semi-finals of the World Cup and you can certainly understand that.
According to the latest reports coming from Qatar, no less than 45,000 Moroccans will be in the stands for the semi-final at El Beit Stadium on Wednesday, compared to only 4,000 French.
Now it turns out that the national airline of Morocco - "Royal Air Morocco" has decided to launch a huge promotion in which it will fly almost 30 flights from Casablanca to Doha on Tuesday and Wednesday to transport all the Moroccan fans to the stadium.
"In order to allow our fans to support the national team at its historic peak moment in the World Cup, we decided to create an air bridge between Casablanca and Doha," the airline's announcement reads.
This initiative came after earlier Moroccan fans complained about the overcrowded flights departing from the Moroccan capital Casablanca to Doha for the match against Portugal in the quarter-finals.
In total madness.

Louis van Gaal supports the Moroccans
Louis van Hal, coach of the Netherlands team, expressed support for the Moroccan team in a video he published.
The 71-year-old coach, whose team was eliminated by Argentina, said: "Hello, dear Moroccans, I wore a green polo shirt. You know why, because green is the color of Morocco. I hope you reach the finals. The Atlas Lions, Mabruk Magar. Come on!" .
