Hakim Ziyech has joined Wydad AC

Social media has gone wild following confirmation that Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech has joined Wydad AC, with Ghanaian fans quickly turning the announcement into fresh banter at the expense of Asante Kotoko.

The former Chelsea and Ajax winger sealed a sensational one-year deal with the Casablanca giants as a free agent, returning home for what many are calling a “fairytale homecoming.”

But in Ghana, the news has sparked waves of trolling, mainly because Kotoko are set to face Wydad in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round.

Wydad edged Kotoko 1-0 in Accra on October 19, 2025, and the return leg in Morocco is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2025.

With Ziyech’s arrival, rival fans have been quick to joke that the Porcupine Warriors are “finished.”

Though it’s unclear if Ziyech will feature in the second leg, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the transfer with his signature “Here We Go!” post.
