Wydad de Casablanca Struggles in Season Opener with Injury Setback
Wydad de Casablanca has begun its 2026-2027 season on a disappointing note, suffering a 3-1 defeat to newly promoted Widad de Témara in their opening match. This loss not only marks a troubling start for the team but also comes with the significant blow of losing one of their key players, Walid Nassi, who sustained an injury during the match and is expected to be sidelined for at least a month.
In their first outing of the new season, Wydad faced Widad de Témara, which made its top-tier debut. Despite the support of a passionate home crowd, the team struggled to cope with their opponents, culminating in an unfortunate defeat. The loss signifies the continuation of a troubling trend for Wydad, as they have now recorded eight consecutive defeats stretching back to the previous Botola Pro season.
Adding to the woes of the club, Walid Nassi was forced to leave the pitch in the 71st minute due to a shoulder injury. Reports indicate that he underwent surgery shortly after the match, which may extend his recovery time beyond the initial month. This injury is a significant setback for Wydad, as Nassi is considered one of their top talents, and his absence will be keenly felt in upcoming fixtures.
As the team grapples with these challenges, supporters have taken to social media to express their concerns, highlighting the need for urgent improvements to reverse the club's fortunes. With the season still in its early stages, Wydad de Casablanca must regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks and regain their competitive edge in the league.
