News about Redouan El Yaakoubi

Redouan El Yaakoubi, the Excelsior Rotterdam defender, has resigned as club captain after refusing to display a OneLove banner before a match. The 27-year-old provoked controversy after refusing to pose with a banner with the words "Against Hate and Discrimination" written in Dutch, before their 4-1 victory over SC Cambuur on March 19th. El Yaakoubi, rather than posing with his colleagues and opposition, preferred to remain at the center-circle and tie the laces of his boots.
