The countdown has begun for the African Champions League final game between Wydad and Egypt’s Al Ahly.

The game is set to take place in Casablanca’s Mohammed V stadium, starting at 8 p.m.

Morocco intensified security efforts hours before the start of the game, in a move to avoid riots.

According to data provided by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), over 4,000 police elements have been appointed in order to guarantee security throughout the day.

Casablanca is already overcrowded as fans from all across Morocco head to the game.

Ultra Winners also boarded a transport to move in groups in order to support WAC to get crowned the title.

Near Mohammed V’s stadium, several vendors are offering Wydad Jerseys, flags, and hats at different prices.
