Algeria Football– The highly anticipated match between Raja Casablanca and Wydad Casablanca, scheduled for Friday November 22, 2024, will finally take place behind closed doors, a decision by the Moroccan authorities which deeply disappoints the supporters of the two flagship clubs of Moroccan football. This clash, nicknamed the “Moroccan Clasico”, is still one of the most followed sporting events in the country, attracting thousands of fans to the stadiums and in front of the screens.
The decision to prohibit access to spectators was taken by local authorities in Morocco for security reasons. Although the match aroused great anticipation due to the intensity of the rivalry between the two giants of Moroccan football, the incidents during previous meetings and the security situation led the authorities to favor this preventive measure.
Fans of both clubs, known for their fervor and unwavering support, therefore find themselves frustrated, because they will not have the opportunity to experience this historic match in the stands. For many, this “Clasico” is much more than just a football match; it’s a true celebration of sport and an opportunity to thrill with their team. The absence of supporters on site therefore considerably changes the atmosphere of the meeting.
The match, which will take place without spectators, will be broadcast on television, still allowing fans to follow the action. However, the decision raises questions about the future of major matches in the country and the impact on the relationship between clubs and their supporters.
For Raja and Wydad, this meeting remains essential for their championship ambitions, and despite the absence of their public, they will have to concentrate on the field to win the three points and continue to fight for the national title.
