Ultras “Halala Boys”… An Angry Presence in Black and Silence Before the Storm
As disappointment mounts and feelings of anger solidify among the people of Kenitra, the Ultras group Halala Boys has broken its silence, announcing an unprecedented stance against what they describe as the “improvisation” and “catastrophe” that have come to dominate the functioning of the Kenitra Sports Club, from management to players and officials.
In a brief yet strongly worded statement, the group confirmed its attendance at the municipal stadium during the anticipated match, but this presence will be of a special kind, far removed from the traditional displays of support that Halala Boys are known for, leaning more towards a silent protest that reflects deep dissatisfaction and the bitterness of the current situation.
Black Instead of Chants
The statement carried a tone of frustration yet was clear: “From the ambition of promotion to the confusion of doubtful areas, until doubt is dispelled and certainty prevails, we announce our presence at the municipal stadium for tomorrow’s match, despite the improvisational and catastrophic levels displayed by the management, the players, and everyone responsible for the club as of now.”
The group emphasized that their presence would be in black, symbolizing mourning or deep discontent, with a complete refusal to engage in any cheering displays, including chants or flags. This marks a shift in the group’s expression, which has long been celebrated for invigorating the stands of “KAC.”
A Silent but Strong Message
Halala Boys also stressed at the end of their statement the necessity of maintaining a spirit of civility and brotherhood among all members of the stands, indicating their rejection of any transgression that might undermine the symbolism of this protest step. They confirmed that a detailed statement will follow after the match, implying the possibility of escalating the situation if things remain unchanged.
The move by Halala Boys reflects the scale of unrest among Kenitra fans who not long ago hoped for a season of promotion, only for their hopes to turn into doubts, and then into silent anger now expressed through colors and the absence of chants, in an unprecedented scene in Kenitra’s stands.
Will the club receive the ultras’ message? Or could silence later turn into a wider rift between the stands and the field?
