Wydad vs AS FAR: The Classico Rocking Morocco Tonight – Atmosphere and 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 top-of-the-table Botola Pro clash. This isn't just a game; it's the Classico, a trench warfare where every pass, every tackle, and every goal echoes far beyond Morocco's borders.
Kick-off is at 8pm (Moroccan time, 9pm in Paris), and for those who can't be inside the Casablanca cauldron, the official broadcasters are pulling out all the stops: live coverage, analysis, and crosses live from outside the stadium. A production worthy of the occasion, because this Wydad-AS FAR clash has title implications written all over it. The two teams are locked together at the top of the table, and the slightest slip-up could prove costly.Man to Watch: Benjelloun – The Lion Awakens
On the Wydad side, all eyes are on one man: Benjelloun. The number 10, a club academy graduate, is in a rich vein of form. After a slow start to the season, he's timed his return to top form perfectly for this crucial fixture. His weaving dribbles and vision through the middle will be the Red and Whites' main weapons to unsettle the Military's sturdy defence. In the stands, he's the fans' undisputed hero, with shirts sporting his name flying off the shelves.
Red Fever: Merch Store, New Kit, and National Passion
Speaking of shirts. The new 2025/2026 home kit by Kappa, the famous Kombat Home shirt, was unveiled a few weeks ago and it's taking the country by storm. Outside the official Wydad store in Maarif, queues start forming at dawn. Fans are desperate to be the first to sport this jersey with its elegant collar and gold trim – a symbol of a season that could be historic. And the madness isn't confined to Casablanca. Even in Fes, where the Wydad community is massive, you can feel the fervour building. Cafes are packed to the rafters, and red and white flags hang from balconies. Wydad Athletic Club is everywhere, from Fes to Tangier, from Rabat to Marrakech.
The Three Key Battles of this Classico
- The Striker Duel: Benjelloun for WAC against AS FAR's notoriously stubborn central defence. Who will come out on top?
- The Midfield Battle: Jahjouh's vision (Wydad) versus Lakhdar's relentless engine (AS FAR). A clash of the playmakers.
- The 12th Man: The 45,000 fans at the Mohammed V can make life hell for the opposition. Will the Military side be able to withstand the red fury?
The ball will stop rolling around 10pm tonight, but the debates will rage on long after in living rooms and across social media. One thing's for sure: whether you're at the Maarif store, in a cafe in Fes, or watching on a screen in Paris, you're about to witness a piece of Moroccan football history. Don't miss this Wydad-AS FAR clash – a Classico that truly lives up to its name.
