Botola Inwi: WAC and Raja fans plan to boycott the derby

The Moroccan derby between Wydad and Raja, scheduled for Saturday, April 12, is expected to take place in front of empty stands.

The Ultras groups of both Casablanca clubs have decided to boycott the match, which counts for the 26th day of Botola Inwi (Moroccan Championship).

This decision is justified by the restrictions imposed on them by law enforcement throughout this 2024-2025 season.

Unsatisfied with the treatment by security authorities, supporters of both clubs have decided to boycott this major African football event.

A season to forget for the two Casablanca clubs.

Wydad and Raja have missed the mark in this 2024-2025 season.

The "Club of Resistance" occupies the 3rd place in the general standings of Botola Inwi, not yet assured of participation in the next CAF Champions League edition.

Meanwhile, the "World Raja" stands at 8th place with 37 points, 23 points behind the champion RS Berkane.
