Wydad Casablanca snatch former Kaizer Chiefs target to join Thembinkosi Lorch and Cassius Mailula in star-studded attack

Aziz Ki has officially joined Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca after leaving Tanzanian side Young Africans (Yanga). The midfield maestro had a stellar campaign with Yanga, helping them dominate domestic football and impress in CAF competitions.

Aziz Ki now links up with South African internationals Cassius Mailula and Thembinkosi Lorch, adding flair and strength to Wydad’s midfield. His signing comes at a pivotal time as Wydad prepares for the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Red Castle are going through a transition phase after parting ways with coach Rulani Mokwena. Aziz Ki is expected to bring leadership and attacking quality to the side. Wydad fans are hopeful that his presence will reignite the team’s form on the continental stage.

Wydad Casablanca finished third in the Botola Pro League, narrowly missing out on a Caf Champions League spot. They will now compete in the Caf Confederation Cup next season. The addition of Aziz Ki reflects the club’s ambition to return to the top of African football. With Mailula, Lorch, and now Aziz Ki, Wydad boasts a creative core to build around. Their immediate focus is on preparing for the Fifa Club World Cup in the USA.

Wydad will face Spanish side Sevilla in a friendly match as part of their preparations for the Club World Cup. This clash will offer a stern test before facing top global clubs.
