Although he is one of the largest stadiums in The brown continentWhich has long been topped by the list of mathematical and historical monuments in Algeria, but the July 5 stadium was not only the scene of weddings and historical achievements, but also a space for the tragic moments that will remain in the memory of the Algerians.
And the Algerians have always sang the historical sporting achievements, which witnessed the July 5 Olympic stadium, when it comes to the national team’s matches since the seventies, where the national elements wrote their name in letters of gold in the history of Algerian football, as the final Africa Cup 1990Who brought together the Greens and Nigeria and ended with the crowning of the Cubs of the late Abdel Hamid Karameal
The attendance of the fans had the record, as they numbered about 100 thousand supporters, although the stadium’s stands were only 70 thousand, knowing that during that period the stands were not equipped with plastic brochures.
The “icon of Algeria” was also witnessed on the many achievements of the Algerian clubs, most notably the historical trilogy of the Mouloudia Club of Algeria 1976And among them is the African Cup of Champions Clubs at the expense of the Guinean Conakry barefoot in an exciting final, his hero Omar Petroni, who starred one year before in the Mediterranean Games final against France, where he scored the equalizer (2-2) in the last minutes of the meeting before he guided my transfer to Algeria by scoring the third goal in the additional time. In the year 1978, the Algerian national team defeated its Nigerian counterpart in the African Games final, with a goal of signing Ben Sheikh.
The name of the historic stadium was also associated with the national team at the time, where the Greens received many large European clubs in it, similar to the Italian club Milan and the Brazilian Miras in the international friendly tournament in 1982. The visits of big clubs to Algeria continued from Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool from England, Bayern Munich, Santos, Gremio, Vasco Da Gamma And Flomeini from Barzail, in addition to the French club Olympic Marseille, to the Italian club Fiorentina, who is present with its stars led by world champion Luka Tony and Romanian Adrian Moto, against Mouloudia Algeria in 2007.
The “Sivo and Sufyan” incident in the minds
Among the most prominent tragic moments that this stadium witnessed is the incident of the death of supporters of the Algerian Federation, in 2013, with the Darby competition against Mouloudia, after they suddenly fell from altitude approximately twenty meters.
Al -Munasar Azib Sufyan, who was 26 years old at the time, was the first to be killed only a few hours after the accident, affected by the severe wounds he was exposed to at the head level, to join the morning of the next day his friend from the same neighborhood, Derhoum Saif Al -Din, who is not more than 21 years old. Forget it.
We also mention the death of Mawasar Mouloudia Algeria on the same stadium from a match Mouloudia And the youth of Constantine, during the Algerian Cup quarter -finals, Sharif Hudhayfah after his fall from the lighting column, in addition to another supporter from the dean, during the celebration of the fans with the aim of winning in the last minutes of the Al -Darby Al -Asimi match in 2014, after the collapse of the upper iron barrier in one of the stands, which led to his fall and death immediately.
The joy of Mouloudia turns into a funeral …
And witnessed a match MCA And the star of Maqara, which took place yesterday evening, Saturday, at the July 5 stadium, is a tragic talk that was the fall of a number of supporters from the upper stands, which led to the death of 3 supporters and the injury of 50 others, which caused the cancellation of the ceremony that was programmed, and the delivery of the championship shield to the capital, which the joy of crowning the heart turned into a funeral in the sense of the word, after these events that cannot be accepted, which is one of the worst stadiums in the date Algerian football.
Who takes responsibility?
In light of these tragic and painful events, and given her research many times, the question of those who bear responsibility for this Events It is essential, because they are souls lost in a place that is supposed to be safe and prepared to receive the masses in the best circumstances. Or the authorities in charge of the organization?, Or on maintenance workers? Especially since the technical status and the stadium side are known to the public and the private.
In addition, we no longer find any justification for closing the new stadiums represented in the Ali Ammar stadium in Al -Duira, for Mouloudia of Algeria, since the beginning of the season, and the failure to embrace the Nelson Mandela stadium with a particle for the matches, knowing that it was opened with the end of the season only, and the four -club matches of the capital “MCA, the youth of Belouizdad, the Algerian Union and the Paradou Club” were transferred to the stadium that has become more than its capacity, where is this?
