Hakim Ziyech: Wydad’s Charismatic Leader and Captain

During this decisive match played at Stade Mohammed V, the Casablanca team’s cohesion was highlighted by a powerful gesture. Amine Aboulfath, one of the dressing-room leaders, spontaneously suggested entrusting the captain’s armband to Hakim Ziyech to honor his status and aura. This initiative aimed to strengthen the confidence and harmony of a squad facing intense continental pressure, while also guiding the younger players through difficult phases.

The Moroccan international further extended this spirit of solidarity during the match. When Nordin Amrabat came onto the pitch, Hakim Ziyech immediately handed him the armband, a sign of mutual respect that was particularly appreciated by the technical staff. For coach Amine Benhachem, the involvement of these experienced internationals goes beyond the simple tactical framework: it establishes a strong collective mentality, essential for facing the next decisive stages of the competition.
