Hakim Ziyech joins Wydad Casablanca in a historic move

Wydad Casablanca has officially signed Moroccan international star Hakim Ziyech in a transfer celebrated as one of the club’s most significant in recent history.

Fans of the “Red Club” are now hopeful for a winning season as the team sets its sights on both the CAF Confederation Cup and domestic titles, with ambitions to reclaim the Moroccan league and Throne Cup.

Ziyech’s journey has been remarkable. He began his professional career in the Dutch Eredivisie at Heerenveen before joining FC Twente, then making a big leap to Ajax, where he played a key role in their run to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2019. His performances earned him a move to Chelsea, where he helped secure the Champions League title in 2021. He later played for Galatasaray in Turkey and tried a spell at Al Duhail in Qatar, which ended abruptly last season, leaving him a free agent.

Now, Ziyech’s arrival at Wydad brings global attention to Moroccan football and offers fans a fresh sense of pride and excitement. Supporters across the country have welcomed him warmly, hoping he’ll inspire Wydad to a new era of silverware and highlight the world-class talent emerging from Morocco.
