Sep 30, 2026

While speculation began to circulate about a conflict between Bensebaini and Hemdani, it was Ibrahim Maza who spoke up.

Twenty-four hours after the Greens' draw against Burundi, public opinion is still reeling from the disastrous start to the match, particularly the mistake made by Ramy Bensebaini.

Today, speculation about the new captain's unfavorable opinion of the coaching staff emerged on Twitter, without being denied by the federation on its social media accounts.

A widely shared account claimed that the player criticized Brahim Hemdani for a lack of professionalism and threatened not to participate in the upcoming gathering scheduled for November.

In response, the young playmaker for the Greens Ibrahim Maza shared a story showing him at Sidi Moussa with Anis Hadj Moussa, Samir Chergui, and Ramy Bensebaini, whom he mentioned, training indoors.

Since Rayan Aït Nouri was sidelined following his incident on the bench, rumors about the atmosphere within the national team have been circulating regularly. The disappointing performance against Burundi has further fueled these speculations.
