Libyan union calls for Derradji’s suspension; he responds to criticism

Libya’s General Union of Sports Media Professionals criticized Hafid Derradji’s commentary, saying some of his remarks favored Tunisia. It called for him to be suspended from commentary on beIN Sports and not assigned Libya matches again. In comments to Libya Al Ahrar, Derradji said he did not intend to insult Libya or diminish its 2-0 victory. He also argued that commentators need not show happiness when one Arab team beats another, or sadness for the losing side; their job is to describe the match and comment on what happens on the field.
