🚨🔴 FC Bayern official statement on Noussair Mazraoui and pro-Palestine repost.
FC Bayern München had a detailed and clarifying conversation with Noussair Mazraoui this week. The reason for the debate was Mazraoui's Instagram posts in connection with the terror against Israel almost two weeks ago, which led to irritation and criticism.
“Noussair Mazraoui has credibly assured us that, as a peace-loving person, he resolutely rejects terror and war. He regrets if his posts have caused irritation,” says Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of FC Bayern, and explains: “FC Bayern condemns Hamas’ attack on Israel.” - “In addition,” explains Noussair Mazraoui, “I condemn every kind of terrorism and every terrorist organization.”
FC Bayern and Noussair Mazraoui resolutely oppose the transfer of the Middle East conflict and its violence to Germany, which is committed to peace. Hatred and violence of any kind have no place in Germany's political culture.
FC Bayern stands on the side of the Jewish community in Germany and on the side of Israel; nothing justifies the murder of children and families.
FC Bayern is convinced that football should develop its power of balancing between different cultures, especially in the most difficult moments. Noussair Mazraoui will remain in the FC Bayern squad, but is currently out due to an injury he sustained during an international match with the Moroccan national team.
