Moroccan football club Wydad Athletic Club has claimed second place in a comprehensive ranking of the 32 home kits for the upcoming Club World Cup tournament in the United States. The revamped competition allows participating teams to debut new designs or continue with their current kits for the 2025–26 season. According to an evaluation by The New York Times, Wydad's kit stood out for its bold design elements and commanding presence. Manufactured by Kappa, the jersey features a striking red color palette, sharp lines, and snug cuffs that convey a no-nonsense, professional look. The New York Times specifically praised the kit's intimidating qualities, noting how its design echoes the early tradition of newly established clubs selecting colors meant to unsettle opponents. The review also underscored the rarity and craftsmanship of Kappa's design work in today's football kit landscape. The Club World Cup will bring together 32 teams competing in the United States this summer under the tournament's new expanded format.
