German coach Joseph Zinnbauer of Raja Casablanca is eagerly awaiting a response from the club’s management regarding the eligibility of new arrivals, Ivorian Heritier Gai, and Bolivian Victor Abrego, ahead of the team’s journey to the United Arab Emirates for a friendly tournament.
Raja Casablanca is set to participate in the Dubai Challenge Cup from the 26th to the 28th of this month, alongside Egyptian side Zamalek, Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, and China’s Wuhan Three Towns.
Zinnbauer intends to include Gai and Abrego in the Dubai Challenge Cup due to the obstacles facing Raja from FIFA and the ban imposed on the club until settling the dues of former players.
Fath Rabat remains adamant about not qualifying Heritier Gai until the Moroccan Football Federation’s Dispute Committee rules on his case.
Regarding Raja, sources affirm that Joseph Zinnbauer is undecided about the departure of player Zakaria Al Wardi.
The German coach is inclined to give Al Wardi an additional opportunity, not rushing his departure despite the player losing his spot in the starting lineup.
As the anticipation builds for Raja Casablanca’s participation in the Dubai Challenge Cup, the decision on the eligibility of new players and the future of Zakaria Al Wardi adds a layer of intrigue to the team’s dynamics.
Zinnbauer’s cautious approach to player decisions reflects a strategic outlook as Raja aims for success in the upcoming tournament.
