The Moroccan football league, Botola Pro D1 Inwi, is set to resume on Thursday, September 24, 2026, after a prolonged wait. The league's first round will feature seven matches, with the highly anticipated Clasico between AS FAR and Raja Casablanca postponed to a later date. The league will witness the participation of 16 clubs, including two newly promoted teams, Wydad de Témara and Amal Tiznit.
The first match of the season will be played on Thursday at 20h00, as Amal Tiznit hosts Ittihad de Tanger. The venue for the match has not been disclosed by the Ligue nationale de football professionnel (LNFP). This match promises to be intense, with both teams eager to make a strong start to the season. The home team, Amal Tiznit, will look to make a good impression in their debut season in the top division.
On Saturday, three matches are scheduled, starting with Union de Touarga against FUS de Rabat at 16h00. The two teams will look to establish themselves early in the season. This will be followed by the match between Difaâ Hassani d'El Jadida and COD Meknès at 18h00. The evening will conclude with Wydad Casablanca taking on Wydad de Témara at 20h00, a match that promises to be an exciting encounter.
The first round of matches will conclude on Sunday, with three more matches scheduled. Moghreb de Tétouan, the Botola Pro D2 champions last season, will host Renaissance de Berkane at 16h00. Maghreb de Fès, the reigning champions, will begin their title defense against Renaissance de Zemamra at 18h00. The final match of the round will see Kawkab de Marrakech host Hassania d'Agadir at 20h00.
The postponement of the Clasico between AS FAR and Raja Casablanca has deprived fans of a highly anticipated match. The LNFP has not announced a new date for the match, but it is expected that the schedule will be rearranged in the coming weeks. This decision will give both teams more time to prepare, but it also means that fans will have to wait longer for this exciting encounter.
The resumption of the Botola Pro D1 Inwi marks the return of Moroccan football to the national stage. The league will feature 16 teams, including two new teams, Wydad de Témara and Amal Tiznit, who earned promotion from the lower divisions. The league's new season promises to be exciting, with several teams looking to make a strong challenge for the title.
The new season will also provide an opportunity for teams to assess their strengths and weaknesses and make necessary adjustments. The participating teams will look to make a strong impression and achieve their goals, whether it is to win the title, secure a top-four finish, or avoid relegation. The Botola Pro D1 Inwi is set to resume on Thursday, and fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the new season.
