Wydad Finish 2025 Club World Cup Campaign with 2-1 Loss to Al Ain
Marrakech – Wydad concluded their Club World Cup journey with a 2-1 defeat to Al Ain at Washington's Audi Field on Thursday. The Moroccan champions, who opened the scoring through Cassius Mailula in the fourth minute, ultimately finished bottom of Group G without a single point. Al Ain responded with goals from captain Kodjo Laba, who converted a penalty just before halftime, and Alejandro Romero, who netted the winner five minutes after the break. The victory was the first for the Emirati side in the tournament, though both teams had already been eliminated prior to this final group match. The contest began brightly for Wydad when Mailula capitalized on an excellent buildup. Nordin Amrabat delivered a long pass to Omar Al Somah, who quickly centered the ball for the South African striker. Mailula controlled skillfully, turned, and fired a precise shot into the top corner past Rui Patricio. Wydad nearly doubled their advantage in the 20th minute when Ayoub Boucheta's powerful effort struck the crossbar. The Moroccan side showed promising attacking intent during the opening exchanges. Al Ain gradually worked their way back into the match. Their persistence paid off in first-half stoppage time when referee Drew Fischer awarded a penalty after VAR review confirmed Boucheta had fouled Adis Jasic in the box. Laba stepped up and dispatched the spot-kick with confidence, sending Mehdi Benabid the wrong way. The Emirati club completed their comeback in the 50th minute through Romero. The goal came after a flowing move involving Facundo Zabala and Matías Palacios, with the latter providing the final assist for Romero's clinical left-footed finish into the top corner. The goal underwent VAR review but was ultimately confirmed. Wydad pushed for an equalizer but struggled to create clear opportunities in the second half. Their best chance came when Zemraoui's shot rattled the crossbar. Meanwhile, Al Ain had opportunities to extend their lead, with Laba missing a golden chance in the 76th minute when he failed to hit the target from close range following Soufiane Rahimi's setup. The match grew increasingly physical in the closing stages, with Nordin Amrabat receiving a yellow card in the 83rd minute after a confrontation with Palacios. The referee added eight minutes of stoppage time, but Wydad couldn't find a way through Al Ain's determined defense. With this result, Wydad end their campaign at the bottom of Group G with zero points and a -6 goal difference. Manchester City and Juventus had already secured qualification to the knockout stages with six points each, rendering this match inconsequential for tournament progression. The defeat marks a disappointing conclusion for the Moroccan champions in the expanded Club World Cup format, having failed to register a single point across their group matches against elite opposition.

Washington DC Declares May 8 as ‘WAC Day' to Honor Wydad Athletic Club
Marrakech – The District of Columbia has officially proclaimed May 8 as 'WAC Day' in recognition of Wydad Athletic Club's prestigious history and cultural impact. The announcement emerged while the Moroccan club participates in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. In an official statement, Wydad conveyed the news to supporters in Morocco and abroad. The club announced that the District of Columbia has dedicated May 8 of each year to celebrate the anniversary of 'Wydad of the Nation.' 'This recognition acknowledges our prestigious history and sporting and cultural influence at national and international levels,' the statement continued, noting the date would be officially known as 'WAC Day.' The resolution was adopted by the District Council and championed by Councilmember Robert C. White Jr. The official text acknowledges the contribution of Wydad, founded in 1937, to sports development and the defense of universal values. 'The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes and honors the history, achievements, and enduring spirit of Wydad Athletic Club, inspiring future generations in the Metropolitan area of the District of Columbia, and declares May 8, 2026 as Wydad Athletic Club Day in the District of Columbia,' reads part of the proclamation. Wydad expressed gratitude for this international recognition. 'The Wydad Athletic Club extends its most sincere thanks to Madam Muriel Bowser for this prestigious tribute. It is a true mark of recognition for the club's glorious history and its major role in the great stages of Morocco's history,' the club wrote in its statement. They added: 'This international recognition is a source of pride for all components of Wydad, and pushes us to continue to fly Morocco's colors high on the world stage.' Philadelphia has also decided to mark this date in its official calendar. At the initiative of Cherelle Parker, mayor of the city, and in partnership with the local Moroccan community led by Hassan Samrhouni, also president of Wydad Washington, the city will now also celebrate May 8 as Wydad Day. This symbolic gesture comes as Wydad completes its participation in the 2025 Club World Cup. The team will play its final match against Asian champions Al Ain today at 8 p.m. Moroccan time at Audi Field in Washington. Already eliminated after defeats to Manchester City (0-2) and Juventus (1-4), the Reds aim to end their world tournament with a victory. During the pre-match press conference, assistant coach Brahim Nakach underlined the importance of this final fixture: 'We are fully aware of the responsibility on our shoulders. We want to conclude our participation with a victory, God willing, that will honor us and Moroccan football.' He also pointed out the competition's constraints: 'The Club World Cup comes at the end of the season, with closely scheduled matches and a high level of intensity. This will help us prepare well for the many challenges of next season, including the championship, the Throne Cup, and the CAF Cup.' Regarding the squad, there is uncertainty about defender Abdelmounaim Boutouil's participation due to a thigh injury. In economic terms, Al Ain boasts a more valuable squad, exemplified by Soufiane Rahimi, valued at €7 million, compared to 1.4 million for Wydad's Jamal Harkass, according to Transfermarkt. The match will also evoke memories for nostalgic fans: Wydad and Al Ain faced off in 2015 during the Friendship Cup, a spectacular match that ended 3-3 with the Emiratis winning on penalties. The game will have a personal dimension for several Moroccan players at Al Ain, including Nassim Chadli, a former Wydad player, Yahya Benkhalek, ex-FUS, and Houssain Rahimi.
