Al Hilal will represent Asia in the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Wydad Athletic Club (WAC) will represent host Morocco.
Al Hilal will face off against Wydad in the tournament’s second round at 3:30 pm GMT+1 at Rabat’s Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on February 4.
The game against Al Hilal is expected to be challenging for Wydad, the head coach of Morocco’s national football team said in an interview last week.
“I think the tricky game is the one against Al Hilal,” Walid Regragui said. “If they can get past that one, I think they can go all the way to the final and face Real Madrid. Everything is possible.”
The tournament will see the participation of other teams including, Spain’s Real Madrid, Brazil’s Flamengo, the US’ Seattle Sounders, Egypt’s Al Ahly, and New Zealand’s Auckland City.
