RS Berkane made history by securing their first-ever Moroccan league title following a 1-1 draw against Ittihad Touarga on Saturday night.

The result in the 25th round of the top-flight league confirmed Berkane as champions with 60 points.

With five games remaining, this means they have established an unbeatable 15-point lead over FAR Rabat, their nearest rivals.

Berkane had an incredible season, recording 18 victories, 6 draws, and just one loss to Fath Union Sportive.

Their consistency throughout the season ensured they stayed ahead of the pack, cementing their place as the best team in Moroccan football this season.

The achievement means Berkane will play in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League next season.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) congratulated Nahdat Berkane for their historic achievement.

In an official statement, FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa praised the club, saying: “On behalf of the Executive Board, I extend my congratulations to Renaissance Sportive de Berkane for winning the Professional League title for the first time in their history.”

The statement further highlighted Berkane’s outstanding season, acknowledging their dominance in the league standings and their significant 15-point lead at the top of the table.

Following the final whistle, Berkane’s star forward Melioui emphasised that their achievement was a result of hard work and dedication.
