Moroccan security forces are taking extensive measures to ensure fan safety and prevent violence during the upcoming Wydad Casablanca vs. AS FAR match at Mohammed V Stadium Saturday evening, part of the 28th round of the Moroccan League.
Local media reports indicate that an important meeting is set to take place in Casablanca shortly, with representatives from Wydad, AS FAR, and city authorities working together to ensure the smooth execution of the high-stakes encounter.
This comes after a groundbreaking decision to allow more than 3,000 AS FAR fans to attend the match, breaking with the tradition of restricting attendance to home supporters in previous seasons.
The clash is crucial, as it could determine the runner-up spot in the league and secure a second CAF Champions League qualification place, alongside defending champions RS Berkane.
AS FAR currently holds second place with 51 points, trailing Wydad by six points, with just three rounds left in the league.
Additionally, a source has confirmed that a special flight will be arranged from Rabat to Casablanca for AS FAR supporters, with departures scheduled to ensure smooth travel and prevent any potential disruptions.
