08 February 2026at17:40

Wydad Athletic Club fans directed criticism at coach Mohamed Amine Benhashem following the team's match against Kenyan hosts Nairobi United. Wydad narrowly won the game 1-0, with striker Wissam Ben Yedder scoring the decisive goal in the 89th minute.

Wydad supporters expressed their dissatisfaction with Benhashem's management of the match, as well as some of his tactical decisions, particularly regarding the starting lineup and the substitutions made during the game.

Fans criticized the coach's reliance on a midfield composed of new players who were making their African debut and were new to the team, believing this negatively impacted the team's performance on the pitch.

Criticism also extended to Wydad's overall performance, which fans deemed below expectations, despite securing the victory and earning three crucial points in the group stage race.
