The Moroccan giants find themselves in what many consider the 'Group of Death' as they will face Manchester City, Juventus and United Arab Emirates side Al Ain.

The Red Castle will be taking on the Premier League champions in their first group game on 10 June 2025 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Wydad will then face off against Serie A giants four days later at the same stadium, before they finish off against Al Ain in Washington at Audi Field.

Mokwena is well aware of the threat posed by all three teams in the group stage phase.

"When you are in a group like this, you cannot lose, you will play against very good teams," Mokwena told Wydad media channel. 

"Manchester City, of course, we know the quality they have, Juventus is a strong team and they probably play the best football, maybe like City, and Al Ain are the Asian champions, so when you play in a group like this, you cannot lose," he told Wydad's official media channels.

"We will try to win one match in the World Cup. This is Wydad's third Club World Cup and there are no easy matches for the team. We will try to win one and then we will see what happens, because even if you do not qualify from the group, the experience you will gain from playing against Manchester City and Juventus is an experience that will make the team stronger for the coming seasons," he added.
