World Cup 2026: Attacked in Marseille, Nayef Aguerd reassures his fans
More fear than harm for Nayef Aguerd. The Moroccan defender for Olympique de Marseille confirmed he was attacked on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at Marseille-Provence airport as he was preparing to join the Moroccan national team for the international break.
On Instagram, the defender posted a story to reassure everyone, thanking security staff and law enforcement for their swift response:
I was indeed assaulted at Marignane airport while waiting for my flight to join the Moroccan national team. Fortunately, it was more of a scare than anything serious.
According to several media reports, a man approached the player in the VIP lounge, asking for a photo and his phone number before turning aggressive and trying to slap him. The individual was quickly subdued by police.
