This transfer feels like a homecoming. At 32, Hakim Ziyech, an iconic figure in Moroccan football, has decided to return to his roots by officially signing with Wydad Casablanca. The legendary Botola Pro club announced the news on Friday evening with a powerful message on their social media: "The Wizard is here!"

A heartfelt choice and a powerful symbol for the league

After shining in Europe, notably with Ajax Amsterdam and Chelsea, Ziyech is turning a new page in his career. The left winger, known for his technique and vision, could have continued his adventure abroad, but chose instead to join Morocco's most decorated club. It's a strong gesture, reflecting both his attachment to his homeland and his desire to contribute to the growth of domestic football.

With this signing, Wydad is sending a clear message to its rivals. The Casablanca club isn’t just recruiting a player, but an icon. For Botola, Ziyech’s arrival is a true media and sporting coup—a further sign of the league’s growing appeal. WAC supporters are already dreaming of seeing the “Magician” light up the Mohammed V complex as he has on Europe’s biggest stages.
