Supporters of Moroccan Club Widad are drawing attention with their support reminiscent of a scene from the OTT drama 'Hell'.
The second Group G match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Group G between Juventus (Italy) and Widad (Morocco) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on the 23rd (Korea time) was temporarily suspended during the first half.
According to the competition broadcaster 'DAZN', when black smoke from the Widad supporter's seat covered the stadium in the 26th minute of the first half, the referee decided that it was difficult to proceed with the game and stopped the game for a while.
Widad trailed by one goal in the 25th minute with an own goal by Abdelmunaim Butuil in the 6th minute and Kenan Yildiz in the 16th minute to lead to 0-2.
Dozens of sparks began to fly from underneath the excited Widad supporter's seat. The supporters' seats were covered in red, and black smoke covered the penalty area on one side of the stadium.

Widard has been famous for his enthusiastic supporting and terrifying strangleholds that overwhelm his opponents from the past. In this competition, he also enjoys the status of the 'Cheering 1st place' with numerous fireworks and high decibels of cheering.
Not only the stadium, but also the stadium's way to work is a hot cheer.
"We are here not only as a Widdard club but also as a Moroccan representative who has written world football history," Hisham Ait Mena Widad, president of the British public broadcaster 'BBC, said in an interview on the 18th. "Just as Moroccan supporters surprised the world during the 2022 World Cup, I hope we continue our passion.'
"We play for the flag, for the country, for the millions of people."
Widad, who participated in the Club World Cup as the winner of the African Football Confederation (CAF) Champions League in the 2021-2022 season, is unable to use his strength due to the wall of a European powerhouse despite enthusiastic support from fans.
In the first round of Group G, they lost 0-2 to Manchester City, and in the second half of the match against Juventus, they were defeated 1-4, dedicating consecutive goals to Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic. With all two losses, he failed to advance to the round of 16 regardless of the result of the final match against Al Ain.
Now there is only one game left to watch 'fire show' at the Club World Cup.
