Samir Widar, the former Nahdet Berkane star and African Confederation Cup champion, has taken a monumental step toward recovery after successfully undergoing a heart transplant in Paris.
This life-saving operation marks a significant turning point for the player, who faced a critical health crisis due to complications from heart disease, exacerbated by his earlier battle with the “Corona” epidemic.
Sources close to the case revealed that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation stepped in to cover the costs of Widar’s treatment abroad, ensuring he received the specialized care required. Currently, Widar is focused on a structured rehabilitation program to rebuild his health and vitality.
This comes after an overwhelming wave of support from Moroccan sports fans and a heartfelt plea from Widar’s family, who tirelessly advocated for his transfer to a foreign medical facility.
Widar’s illustrious career included stints at clubs such as Wydad Fez, AS Salé, and Difaa Hassani Jadidi before his success with Nahdet Berkane. His inspiring journey from the pitch to recovery continues to unite fans across the nation in hope and admiration.
