Hicham Ait Mana, president of the Wydad Athletic Club, confirmed that the club’s management is committed to honoring its contract with the “Engelic” company, which runs until June 2026. He emphasized that the red jersey is not an open space for excessive advertisements.
During his speech at the club’s general assembly, Ait Mana explained that Wydad has many opportunities to attract new sponsors and generate significant revenue, but he prefers to maintain the identity and symbolism of the jersey for the fans, stating: “We could add numerous advertisements, but the Wydad jersey is not a catalogue.”
This stance reflects the club’s management approach to balancing the increase in financial resources while preserving the historical image of the Wydad jersey, a core part of the club’s identity and its supporters.
Ait Mana’s move has garnered widespread support among members, as it communicates a clear message that commercial interests will not come at the expense of sports symbolism, especially as the club seeks to reorganize its financial situation and find additional resources for stability.
