Wydad have completed the signings of Stephane Aziz Ki, Nordin Amarabat, and Hamza Hannouri.

Aziz Ki, 29, is a familiar name on the African continent, having represented Tanzanian club Young Africans with some distinction.

The Burkina Faso international joins the Red Castle on a two-year deal.

Amarabat, meanwhile, is no stranger in Morocco as he returns home from overseas and has played for the national team 64 times.

The 38-year-old Amrabat is a well-traveled midfielder, having played in Holland, Spain, Turkey, England, Saudi Arabia, and Greece.

He has joined on a one-year contract.

Hamza Hannouri, who plays in midfield, arrives at Wydad from FUS Rabat.

The 28-year-old has penned a three-year deal.

Wydad have also confirmed Amine Benhachem is their new permanent head coach on a two-year contract. Benhachem initially took over as caretaker coach from Rulani Mokwena, who left the club recently.

Wydad will be among the teams to represent the continent at the FIFA 2025 Club World Cup next month.

They are in Group G alongside Manchester City, Juventus, and Al Ain.
