Junior Olugbadi features for Benin in win despite ongoing absence from Wydad Casablanca

Junior Olugbadi, a player for Wydad Casablanca, participated in the match that brought together his national team Benin and the Central African Republic national team yesterday, Thursday, in the African qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations, which ended in a resounding victory for the Benin national team with four goals to one (4-1).

Olugbadi, who is considered one of the names trusted by the technical staff and has a regular presence in the "Lions" squad, continues to confirm his international status, in a striking paradox coinciding with his inability to play a single official minute in the Wydad Casablanca shirt so far, due to the club management's failure to complete the legal registration procedures.

The player has been participating in group training sessions with the "red" team while awaiting the resolution of his administrative situation. He is expected to be officially registered during the upcoming winter transfer window, making him available to strengthen Wydad Casablanca for the upcoming competitions.

The continued reliance on Olugbadi in international competitions reflects the coaching staff's ongoing confidence in his physical and technical abilities, despite his lack of match rhythm with his Moroccan team.
