The story
Wydad have released two stunning new special-edition kits, courtesy of Kappa.
The Italian sportswear brand signed a partnership with the Moroccan giants in May 2025, following the end of their relationship with previous supplier Macron.
Kappa and Wydad's deal is understood to be a three-year agreement, and their collaboration is already proving to be highly successful.

Since the partnership began around five months ago, Kappa have released six different kits for Wydad.
Two of these were special home and away kits for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
At the start of the 2025/26 season, Kappa launched new home and away kits for the campaign.
Remarkably, this week Wydad unveiled two more Kappa designs -- one red and one white.
Six kits in five months dispels any doubt that Wydad and Kappa share a special relationship.
Kappa also sponsors South African giants Chiefs, but since their partnership began in 2023/24, they have produced a total of just six kits together.
This stands in stark contrast to Wydad's six Kappa kits in under six months.
Notably, since partnering with Kappa, Amakhosi have not released any special-edition or alternative kits.
This season, their main rivals, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, have unveiled third kits, while the Naturena-based outfit are among only 10 Betway Premiership teams without one.
Admittedly, Chiefs appear satisfied with the terms of their agreement with Kappa.

The club's commercial and marketing director, Jessica Motaung, told Metro FM Sports in 2022 that she was happy with Kappa's local distribution network and "also various other investments that they are making into the club, both financially and also in terms of the product," she said.
"A financial investment which is very substantial, I'm also looking at the extensive lifestyle range that they are putting down."
