The candidates for the presidency of Wydad Athletic Club Football today demanded the disclosure of Wydad’s financial situation before the general assembly scheduled for July 21, which will witness the election of a new president succeeding Hicham Ait Mena, who resigned. This demand comes to ensure the transparency of the electoral process and enable the candidates to develop realistic electoral programs based on a sound financial foundation for the prestigious club.
Press reports revealed that the candidates informed the resigned president, Hicham Ait Mena, that accurately defining their electoral programs requires prior access to the club’s financial situation and the extent of accumulated debts. This measure is considered vital to ensuring the incoming president’s ability to handle financial challenges efficiently and to set future plans that serve Wydad Athletic’s interests.
The same sources explained that the candidates will receive the financial report of Wydad Athletic Club at the legally scheduled date, just like all members. This report forms the basis for evaluating the club’s current situation and the plans each candidate will present to the general assembly on July 21.
Seven candidates are competing to succeed Hicham Ait Mena in this important position: Saadallah Yassin, Anas Kourami, Essam Laassal, Ibrahim Al-Asri, Atill Tozeur, Hassan Harir, and Mohammed Al-Alam. A fierce competition is expected among these candidates who aspire to lead Wydad in the coming phase, especially after the team finished last season in fifth place in the professional league, behind Maghreb Fassi, Nahdat Berkane, Raja Club Athletic, and Royal Army.
Careful examination of Wydad’s financial situation is an important step toward a stable future for the club, as it will allow each candidate to present a clear and responsible vision to the general assembly, positively impacting the sound decision in choosing the new president.
