Shirt a Phobia

The Moroccan Classico is the name given to matches between Wydad AC and AS FAR football clubs from Casablanca and Rabat, Morocco.[1][2][3]

This match is a rivalry between two of the most important and successful clubs in Moroccan football, and the most decorated, as Wydad leads the list of teams with the most Botola titles, and FAR leads the list of clubs with the most Throne Cup wins.

On the other hand, this match can be considered a geographical rivalry, given that one of the clubs belongs to Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, and the other to Rabat, the country’s capital.

History

Foundation and Beginnings

Wydad AC (Wydad Athletic Club) was founded on May 8, 1937, in Casablanca by a group of nationalist intellectuals and resistance members during the French Protectorate. The aim was to establish a club that represented the Moroccan people and promoted national spirit while ensuring independence from any colonial influence. The club began its activities with a football section and other sports departments, playing its first official matches at a stadium in the Derb el-Melah neighborhood before later moving to the Mohammed V Stadium.

Among the prominent founders was Père Jégo, who became the club’s first coach and helped lay the team’s technical foundations. Wydad started its journey in local amateur competitions before gradually ascending to the first division in 1942, achieving its first major titles in the 1940s.

In contrast, AS FAR (Sports Association of the Royal Armed Forces) was established on September 1, 1958, through an initiative of the military institution and with the blessing of King Hassan II. Its goal was to create a club representing the Royal Armed Forces and participating in official competitions. The team was part of a multi-sport association, with football as its main focus. The club’s official colors are red, black, and green. AS FAR won the Throne Cup in its first season and quickly advanced to the top division, becoming a direct competitor to Wydad in the Moroccan league.
