El Jadida, Morocco – USM Alger’s delegation, led by Sporting Director Said Allik, arrived in El Jadida, Morocco, on a special flight operated by Tunisian company ‘Novalair’ which landed at Casablanca Airport at 11:30 AM. The team traveled by bus to El Jadida and checked into the Mazagan Hotel, their base for the next two days, before moving to Oualidia for the match.
The delegation was greeted upon arrival by Mohamed El Hidaoui, President of Olympique Safi, in a gesture appreciated by the USM Alger management.
However, the trip was overshadowed by the absence of two key players. Zakaria Draoui is currently with the national team, having been called up by coach Madjid Bougherra for the national team camp in preparation for the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025.
The bigger talking point, however, is the unexcused absence of defender Adam Aleilat. Aleilat did not join the team’s traveling party, and the reason for his absence remains unclear, causing speculation and debate among supporters and analysts. The club has yet to release an official statement regarding Aleilat’s failure to report for the crucial away match.
