Moroccan clubs competing in the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup return to continental action this week as the group stage resumes with matches from Matchdays 3, 4 and 5. After more than a month-long break due to the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, African club competitions are back in the spotlight.

RS Berkane and AS FAR face crucial Champions League tests

In the CAF Champions League, attention will be focused on eastern Morocco, where Renaissance Sportive de Berkane are preparing for a high-profile clash against reigning champions Pyramids FC. The encounter, scheduled for 24 January as part of Matchday 3, promises to be a defining moment in Group A.

Traditionally strong performers in the CAF Confederation Cup, RS Berkane have taken a major step forward this season by competing among Africa’s elite. Drawn into a highly competitive group, the Orange side will be aiming for a statement victory that could place them at the top of the standings halfway through the group phase.

On the same matchday, AS FAR will carry the hopes of the capital in Group B when they take on JS Kabylie in a heated North African derby. In a group dominated by Al Ahly, every point is precious, and a positive result could significantly boost AS FAR’s chances of reaching the quarter-finals.

Wydad and Olympic Safi resume CAF Confederation Cup campaigns

The CAF Confederation Cup also offers an exciting lineup, with two Moroccan clubs entering action on Sunday 25 January. Wydad Casablanca, seeking redemption on the continental stage, will face AS Maniema Union from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

For the Red Castle, this competition represents more than just another trophy. Strengthened by new signings during the winter transfer window, Wydad are determined to reassert themselves with a convincing performance in Group play.

At the same time, Olympic Safi continue to write one of the most remarkable chapters in the club’s modern history. The Safi-based side will take on Ivory Coast’s FC San Pedro on 25 January, in a match where tactical discipline and collective commitment will be key.

Moroccan ambition on the continental stage

Driven by passionate fan bases and growing continental experience, Morocco’s representatives approach this decisive phase of African competition with clear ambitions. As the group stage intensifies, each result could prove decisive in shaping their journey toward the knockout rounds.
