Hocine Dehimi (December 1961 – June 11, 1995), known more commonly as Yamaha, was one of the most recognisable football supporters in Algeria prior to his assassination in 1995.[1] He was a fan of CR Belouizdad and the Algeria national team.
On June 11, 1995, Dehimi was gunned down a few meters away from his home in Belouizdad, just days prior to the 1995 Algerian Cup final involving his team and Olympique de Médéa. A huge funeral procession with red and white banners, the colours of his favourite team, was held in his honour.[2]
