Wydad Casablanca Fans Protest Against Club President Hicham Aitmanna

Wydad Casablanca fans erupted in protest against club president Hicham Aitmanna at the Mohammed V Stadium on Saturday during high profile friendly match against Portuguese giants Porto.

Angry Fans Voice Frustration

As part of the team’s preparation for the expanded 2025 fifa Club World cup in the United States, the match drew massive crowd of 50000 supporter but many used the occasion to voice anger over transfer activity and what they see as poor planning ahead of the tournament.

The fans chanted loudly against Aitmanna, demanding signings that match the club’s ambitions. The protest came just as the president appeared on the pitch to honor visually impaired child in symbolic gesture before kickoff.

Aitmanna Responds to the Pressure

The Wydad president acknowledged the chants gesturing toward supporters to signal his intention to meet their demands before the tournament kicks off.

Despite signing four new attacking players Nordin Amrabat, Hamza Hannouri, Aziz Kay and Hamza El Wasti , fans remain skeptical, criticizing the lack of reinforcements in other key areas of the squad.

Tough Group Ahead

Wydad will face daunting opening fixture against Man City on 18 Jun with Juventus & UAE's Al Ain also in their group at the Club World cup.

Concerns are rising that the current squad may not be strong enough to compete at this level.
