World Cup Updates: Wydad Commences Preparations for Crucial Match Against Juventus in Search of First Victory
Wydad Athletic Club is gearing up for its highly anticipated match against Italian club Juventus in the second round of Group Stage matches at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
This encounter follows Wydad’s defeat in their opening match against Manchester City, losing 2-0, which heightens the significance of the upcoming clash to recover from the initial setback and improve the team’s position for qualification.
The preparations for the Red team begin with a closed training session set for 10:00 AM Washington time, which corresponds to 3:00 PM Moroccan time. The atmosphere is focused and disciplined, emphasized by head coach Amin Benhachem, who has stressed the importance of shielding the squad from media pressures to maintain mental and physical readiness.
Juventus enters the match buoyed by a resounding 5-0 victory over Al Ain of the UAE, presenting Wydad with a tough challenge that demands high-level performance and a fighting spirit to secure a win or at least a positive result.
The match is scheduled for next Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, starting at 5:00 PM GMT+1, amidst expected enthusiasm from Moroccan fans and Wydad supporters living abroad.
