Nairobi United Overview

Thembinkosi Lorch, Wydad AC, November 2025

Can Lorch's performance change Broos' stance?

Despite being snubbed by the national team head coach, the former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns player continues to prove his worth for the Moroccan giants. The Mzansi star played a crucial role as Wydad Casablanca managed a 3-0 win over Kenya's Nairobi United on Sunday at Laribi Zaouli Stadium. The win propelled the Moroccan heavyweights to the top of the table, while Nairobi United, who made it to the group stage in their debut season, are at the bottom.

Although Lorch has been in good form, he has not been appreciated at home, as the national team head coach keeps ignoring him.
