 "Morocco fans riot across France, Belgium after loss in FIFA World Cup semi-final")
Paris: As France ended Morocco’s dream run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar with a dominant 2-0 victory in the semi-finals, riots erupted in several cities across France and Belgium. Police in the Belgian capital, Brussels, have arrested some 100 people in the wake of Morocco’s defeat against France at the World Cup semi-finals. Among the detained football fans on Wednesday night were people accused of disturbing the public order, damaging two police vehicles and possessing illegal pyrotechnics, Belgian police said in the early hours of Thursday. In France, the police dispersed crowds of Morocco fans who were setting off fireworks near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and had to use tear gas to dispel mobs who set off firecrackers in the city of Nice in southern France.
