The Wydad Temara team threatens to resort to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following the severe sanctions imposed on it by the Central Disciplinary Committee. These sanctions include the team losing its match against Wydad Athletic Club by a score of three goals to zero, a deduction of one point from its tally, in addition to a financial penalty of five thousand dirhams. This move by Wydad Temara reflects the club’s effort to defend its rights and express its rejection of the issued decisions.
The management of Wydad Temara decided to present its case to the Appeals Committee of the National Professional Football League, in an attempt to cancel or mitigate these sanctions. Club officials assert that they have strong defenses justifying their position and hope that the Appeals Committee will respond to their demands by doing justice to Wydad Temara.
The Wydad Temara administration stressed that if it does not receive a positive response from the Appeals Committee, it will not hesitate to escalate matters and head directly to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This approach reflects the club’s determination to exhaust all available legal means to ensure it receives fair treatment.
Wydad Temara bases its defense primarily on Article 14, paragraph “b” of the Competitions Law of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. This article clearly states that the competent authority is obligated to send communications related to sanctions to clubs “in writing,” which Wydad Temara’s management confirmed was not implemented either by the Professional League or by the Amateur League. The club views this as a violation of the legal procedures that must be followed.
