No, it’s not that Mali has a soccer team.
Clue: Look at 0:34 onwards
The 26 March Stadium in Mali, which hosted a football match between the Egyptian Ahly Club and the Malian national team in the first round of the Orange CAF Champions League, witnessed a controversial incident after Malian fans raised the Israeli flag when their team beat Ahly one to zero.??
For the record, Israel and Mali have no diplomatic relations.
I’m just glad this happened, since we already know the Egyptians really have a “thing” for the Israeli flag.
