Moroccan Star Al Wahdi Shines at Genk and Earns First National Team Call-Up

In September 2023, Moroccan player Al Wahdi joined Belgian club Genk from Molenbeek, a competitor in the Belgian Pro League.

Despite his short time with the team, Al Wahdi quickly showcased his abilities, becoming a key figure in the club’s plans.

Al Wahdi’s standout performances in decisive matches for the league title were noteworthy, as he started in five of the eight crucial games.

Genk expressed its admiration for Al Wahdi’s contributions on their official website, stating, “With his endurance and perseverance, Al Wahdi has become an indispensable part of Cegeka Arena.”

Al Wahdi’s impressive performances have attracted attention from other clubs, notably Portugal’s Benfica. However, the player remained loyal to Genk.

Internationally, the Moroccan right-back continues to make a name for himself, having won the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations and earning a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Recently, Al Wahdi received his first call-up from national coach Walid Regragui to join the Moroccan national team in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Gabon and Lesotho.
