Wydad Casablanca have now reportedly made special arrangements ahead of their African Football League final second leg against Mamelodi Sundowns. 

The Moroccan team heads into the second leg of the inaugural final with an edge after beating the travelling Masandawana side 2-1 at the Stade Mohammed V on Sunday.

Now, however, it is Wydad's turn to travel to South Africa, and the club's board of directors have reportedly made adjustments to the travelling arrangements as Les Rouges prepare for the clash this coming Sunday.

According to Kooora, it was decided that the team would travel to Mzansi a day earlier  on Wednesday instead of Thursday  than originally planned. 

It is said that the team wants more time to adjust to the country's weather, and to conduct extra training sessions prior to the all-important encounter at Loftus Versfeld. 

The squad is also believed to be travelling on a private jet that includes a delegation headed by Wydad spokesperson Mohamed Talal.

It has been reported that the travelling contingent also consists of members of the team's management office to motivate the players and staff. 

Meanwhile, club captain Yahya Jabrane, who will miss the tie through suspension, is said to also be travelling with his teammates to South Africa.
