Renaissance Sportive de Berkane (RSB) has etched its name into Moroccan football history by securing its first-ever Botola Pro title.
The club’s triumph, sealed with a 1-1 draw against Ittihad Touarga on Saturday, March 16, 2025, marks a significant milestone in their journey and for Moroccan football as a whole.
With 60 points and a commanding 15-point lead over AS FAR, RS Berkane’s victory on Matchday 25 solidified their dominance in the league this season. The title win is a testament to the club’s dedication, hard work, and an ambitious policy aimed at raising the standards of Moroccan football.
This historic achievement highlights the remarkable growth and development of the Botola Pro league. In recent years, the league has undergone significant transformation, driven by reforms initiated by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and its president, Fouzi Lekjaa.
These reforms have included development of modern facilities and stadiums, enhanced management and operational standards, greater financial resources for clubs to invest in talent, and implementation of robust governance practices.
These changes have contributed to a more competitive and attractive league, fostering the emergence of new champions like RS Berkane and strengthening the presence of Moroccan clubs on the African stage.
The Moroccan authorities, in partnership with the FRMF, have prioritized the modernization of football, investing heavily in youth development, training centers, and club structuring. The goal is to establish the Botola Pro league as one of the top leagues in Africa.
RS Berkane’s victory embodies this new era of Moroccan football, characterized by improved quality of play and increased competitiveness. With this title, the club now sets its sights on the CAF Champions League, aiming to represent Morocco with distinction on the continental stage.
