The Belgian midfielder (Moroccan father, Italian mother: triple passport), today at OH Leuven, on his way back from training, lost control of his car (it splashed onto the road at high speed) at a roundabout and ended up against the wall a gymnasium after taking off, taking off in the area. It could have been a tragedy: some kids were training in the facility. In fact, the youth basketball team of the Alliance Flemalle was in the throes of a training session.

Just three minutes earlier there were 10 people, the words of a local executive to Sudinfo.be. A situation later confirmed by the CEO of Kiyine’s team on the club’s official channel: Sofian was very lucky. We realize that it could have ended much worse. At the time of the incident, there were children in the building whose basketball practice had just finished. It could have been a disaster.

Now the investigations will allow to understand the responsibilities of the player: from the images it seems that the speed was much higher than the 90 km/h allowed on that straight line: We in the club attach great importance to road safety. Footballers must be a model. We therefore expect them to use an appropriate driving style. But we await the results of the investigations, concluded the CEO.
