The Botola Pro “Inwi” of the first division resumes its action this weekend with the scheduling of matches for the 9th round, following a pause due to the Moroccan national A’ team’s participation in the Arab Cup (Qatar 2025) and Morocco’s hosting of the 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Clubs Better Prepared with Varied Goals
This break has allowed clubs to fine-tune their preparations for the league’s resumption. The ambitions vary among teams: some aim for the title, others fight to secure their place in the top tier, while others are looking to improve their standings or promote young talents.

A 9th Round Marked by Competitiveness
The matches of this 9th round promise to be fiercely contested, despite the lack of competitive rhythm resulting from the absence of official matches in recent weeks. Physical and mental management will be crucial, especially for teams engaged on multiple fronts.

MAS Seeking Confirmation
Maghreb de Fès, currently third in the standings with 16 points, will host FUS de Rabat, who are 12th with 7 points. The Fassi club will look to maintain its unbeaten status after eight rounds, boosted by a significant victory over Olympic de Safi (4-0) and a recent draw against AS FAR.

Raja on a Risky Trip to Témara
Meanwhile, Raja de Casablanca, sitting fourth with 15 points, will visit the Union Touarga. The Greens aim to stay in touch with the leading teams, while UTS, currently 15th with 5 points, will strive to pull away from the relegation zone.

Balanced Duels in Mid-Table
In the middle of the standings, Olympique de Dcheira will host Difaâ Hassani of El Jadida, while COD Meknès (5th, 12 points) will travel to Zemamra to face the local Renaissance, who are placed 10th with 8 points.

Three Matches Postponed Due to African Competitions
This 9th round will be marked by the postponement of three matches to allow AS FAR, RS Berkane, Wydad de Casablanca, and Olympic de Safi to fulfill their African commitments. The postponed matches will be scheduled later.
