Wydad Casablanca faces a tough challenge in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after being drawn in Group G alongside Manchester City, Juventus, and Al Ain.
The draw, held on Thursday, revealed a highly competitive lineup for the expanded tournament, which takes place in the summer of 2025.
The group promises exciting matchups, with Manchester City, the reigning UEFA Champions League winners, and Juventus, one of Italy’s top clubs, posing significant threats. Al Ain, representing the UAE, adds an intriguing regional dimension to the competition.
The tournament’s new format features 32 teams divided into eight groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stage.
While draw rules limited teams from the same continent appearing in the same group, European clubs were exempted, allowing for marquee matchups like Manchester City versus Juventus.
For Wydad, this tournament is an opportunity to showcase its strength on the global stage. As champions of Africa, the Moroccan side will look to defy the odds and contend against football heavyweights in one of the most challenging groups.
