Tunisian crowds are criticizing the appointment of Hafez al-Darraji to comment on Libya's confrontation

Tunisian crowds recorded a wave of widespread interest and angry reactions on social media platforms today, following the announcement of the appointment of Algerian sports commentator Hafiz Dragi to comment on the forthcoming confrontation between the national team and his Libyan counterpart in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Sports fans have cited previously abusive attitudes, with old comments by the DRAGs leaving naked resentment in the ranks of Tunisian sports fans, especially during media coverage of regional competitions.

The biggest dispute between the audience and the Algerian commentator dates back to the Arab Cup tournaments held in 2021.

This appointment renewed the longstanding tension between Tunisian fans and the sports commentator, as a wide range of fans expressed their refusal to assign the task of commenting on Carthage Eagles games to him, citing what they considered repeated violations of Tunisian football rights during past ball events.
