Wydad vs AS FAR: The Classico Rocking Morocco Tonight – Atmosphere & New Kombat Kit
Brace yourselves, because this Thursday, March 5th, 2026, the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca is set for a night to remember. Wydad Athletic Club, the giants with twenty league titles, host their eternal rivals, AS FAR, in a Botola Pro showdown. This isn't just a match; it's a Classico, a full-blooded battle where every pass, every tackle, and every goal will be felt far beyond Morocco's borders.
Kick-off is at 8pm (Moroccan time, 9pm in Paris), and for those who can't make it to the Casablanca cauldron, the official broadcasters are pulling out all the stops: live coverage, analysis, and reports from outside the stadium. It's the treatment this massive event deserves, because this Wydad-AS FAR clash has all the makings of a title decider. The two sides are locked together at the top of the table, meaning any slip-up could prove costly.One to Watch: Benjelloun – The Lion Awakens
On the Wydad side, all eyes are on one man: Benjelloun. The number 10, a homegrown club talent, is in red-hot form. After a slightly subdued start to the season, he's timed his return to top form perfectly for this crucial fixture. His trademark weaving dribbles and sharp vision in the central channel will be the Reds' main weapons as they look to unlock the solid Military defense. The fans in the stands have complete faith in him, and shirts with his name on the back are flying out of the shops.
Red Fever: Club Shop, New Kit & National Passion
Speaking of shirts. The new 2025/2026 home kit by Kappa, the famous Kombat Home jersey, was unveiled a few weeks ago and it's been nothing short of a sensation. Outside the official Wydad store in Maarif, queues have been forming from dawn. Fans are desperate to be the first to sport this elegant shirt with its classy collar and gold trim – a symbol of what could be a historic season. And the madness isn't confined to Casablanca. Even in Fez, where the Wydad community is massive, you can feel the buzz. Cafés are packed to the rafters, and red and white flags are draped from balconies. Wydad Athletic Club is everywhere, from Fez to Tangier, from Rabat to Marrakech.
Three Key Battles in this Classico
- The Striker Duel: WAC's Benjelloun against AS FAR's notoriously stubborn central defence. Who will come out on top?
- Midfield Mastery: Jahjouh's playmaking (Wydad) versus Lakhdar's relentless engine (AS FAR). A battle of the conductors.
- The 12th Man: The 45,000 fans at the Mohammed V can make life hell for the away side. Will the Military men be able to withstand the red fury?
The ball will stop rolling around 10pm tonight, but the talking points will echo long into the night in homes and across social media. One thing's for sure: whether you're in the Maarif store, in a café in Fez, or glued to your screen in Dublin, you're about to witness a piece of Moroccan football history. Don't miss Wydad vs AS FAR – a true Classico.
