Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club recently celebrated the arrival of the FIFA Club World Cup trophy during a festive ceremony.
The event was attended by several prominent figures, including former Moroccan internationals Hussein Kharja and Hicham Ait Mena, who had the privilege of unveiling the trophy to the public.
The trophy arrived in Morocco on Tuesday as part of its promotional tour ahead of the much-anticipated global tournament, which is scheduled to take place this summer in the United States.
This inaugural edition of the tournament will feature 32 clubs and follow a structure similar to the FIFA World Cup. It is set to run from June 14 to July 13, 2025, across 11 cities in the United States.
Wydad Athletic Club issued an official statement expressing great pride in hosting the prestigious trophy. They stated that this event is a moment of honor not only for the club but also for Moroccan football as a whole. The celebration underscores Wydad’s role as Morocco’s representative on the global stage.
Wydad is the last African stop on the Club World Cup trophy tour, following visits to Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa, Al Ahly in Egypt, and Esperance in Tunisia.
