Wydad Faces Ghana's Asante Kotoko Without Key Players
The Moroccan Wydad Athletic Club will visit Ghana's Asante Kotoko on Sunday, October 19, 2025, in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup, in a match that will take place at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Wydad enters this important encounter with a depleted squad, as medical sources within the club have confirmed the absence of both Hamza Al-Wasiti and Walid Al-Sabbar due to injuries, along with Muad Onzo who will not be present due to a lack of physical readiness.
These absences are a significant blow to coach Mohamed Amin Ben Hashim, who will be forced to seek alternative tactical solutions to ensure a strong start in the team's continental journey, especially since the Ghanaian opponent is known to be a tough team at home.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) had exempted Wydad from participating in the first preliminary round due to its advanced continental ranking, making this encounter the team's first official test on its way to reaching the group stage of the competition.
