Father of Morocco internationals Soufiane and Hussein Rahimi to be buried after Friday prayers

Haj Mohamed Rahimi, widely known as Haj Youari, will be buried after Friday prayers as his family, friends and Moroccan football figures mourn his death.

Rahimi, the father of Moroccan internationals Soufiane and Hussein Rahimi, died on Thursday after a long illness. His death has brought grief to his family and to supporters of Raja Casablanca, a club closely linked to his life and history.

Relatives and friends are expected to attend the funeral, along with representatives of the football community, particularly from Raja. Rahimi remained close to the club's various circles for many years and witnessed chapters of its history.

His name was also tied to the careers of his two sons, who developed within Raja's green team before continuing their professional careers. His death has prompted mourning and sympathy across Moroccan sport as those close to him prepare to pay their respects after Friday prayers.
