New Signing Boosts Wydad Midfield

Wydad Athletic Club sealed a new deal today to strengthen the Red team’s squad, aiming to fortify the midfield structure.

Club officials announced the arrival of Bolivian midfielder Ramiro Faca on a three-and-a-half-year contract, with option for extra season too.

Sources expect Faca to be a qualitative addition, drawing on his European and South American experience.

The Bolivian midfielder is 26 years old and has previously featured for The Strongest in Bolivia and Beerschot in Belgium, where he showcased technical and tactical capabilities in central midfield, giving fans and staff optimism about his contribution for this season ahead.

This signing fits the club’s strategy to reinforce during the winter window, gearing up for domestic and continental challenges, reflecting Wydad’s ambition to stay among the elite and deliver results season.

Previously, Wydad had already tied down several notable names, including veteran French striker Wissam Ben Yedder, talented Moroccan midfielder Naïm Biarr, defender Ayman Al-Awwafi, and international Nabil Khali, who arrived from Slovenia as the squad eyes bigger prizes.

Punchline 1: If football were a chessboard, this signing just checkmated the midfield.

Punchline 2: Wydad’s transfer window is so smooth, even the referee forgot to blow the whistle.
