A fan pitch invasion in the Argentina vs Morocco opener marked an unfortunate start to Olympics football competition.
Paris Olympics organisers are looking into what led to a pitch invasion during the opening match of the Olympic football tournament between Argentina and Morocco.
Argentina lost 2-1 following a VAR review after play was suspended with the scores level at 2-2 but the final result was only confirmed two hours later when the game was restarted.
“The football match between Argentina and Morocco at the Saint-Etienne Stadium was suspended due to a pitch invasion by a small number of spectators,” Games organisers said on Thursday.
“The match then restarted and was able to conclude safely. Paris 2024 is working with the relevant stakeholders to understand the causes and identify appropriate actions.”
