Stadiumphilia

StadiumphiliaIt is not about football,it is about the stadium itself.

As nearly everywhere in the world football is Algeria's most popular sport,once in two weeks when the local football club plays his game at home people from all age categories mostly young rush to the stadium and gathered beside his gates,scenes of chaos are frequent that day especially during derby matches,persons of less than 18 years makes a majority of the spectators the main reason can be the lack of places of entertainment.

According to the Algerian law people who are under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter the stadium without a guardian,in reality it is not the case,a boy of 14 years old can buy himself a ticket and enter the stadium without any control predisposing himself to many dangers.

When you give a deep look to those children you will understand that they are not here for football,the stadium is just a loophole permitting to them to escape from the pressure of society.
