The Wydad Athletic Club, led by its coach Mohamed Benchrifa, is looking to achieve its third consecutive victory when it faces Raja Beni Mellal today at the Mohammed V Complex as part of the Throne Cup competitions.
Benchrifa hopes to continue the winning streak he started with the red team, emphasizing the importance of this match in the club’s journey.
Benchrifa, a former Wydad player, has extensive experience in Throne Cup matches and fully understands that these games do not follow the usual logic of differences between teams.
Cup competitions are often full of surprises and give teams outside the top professional division great motivation to shine and accomplish achievements.
History highlights many examples of this, including the crowning of the Old City Majd team with the most prestigious local cup title, which confirms that focus and caution are essential elements for winning this tournament.
Wydad Athletic Club concluded its preparations yesterday, Saturday, for this anticipated face-off with high concentration. Benchrifa stressed to his players not to underestimate the opponent and to play with caution, because Throne Cup matches remain open to all possibilities. Wydad strives in the Throne Cup to confirm its revival and start strong in this valuable competition.
It is worth noting that the red team achieved two consecutive victories under coach Mohamed Benchrifa, restoring the winning rhythm after their 2-0 win against Moghreb Tétouan with goals from star Hakim Ziyech, followed by a victory in the 140th derby against their rival Raja Athletic Club.
