RS Berkane Faces Challenging Group in CAF Champions League
On October 28, 2026, the draw for the group stage of the CAF Champions League for the 2026-2027 season took place at the Egyptian Football Association headquarters in Cairo. The Moroccan clubs RS Berkane and FUS Rabat were drawn into separate groups, marking an exciting chapter for Moroccan football on the continental stage. RS Berkane found themselves in Group C, alongside Tanzanian giants Simba SC, South Africa's Orlando Pirates, and Coton Sport from Cameroon. This group is seen as a balanced one, with each team possessing a wealth of African experience, making it imperative for Berkane to leverage their accumulated expertise in continental competitions to secure one of the two qualifying spots for the quarter-finals.
FUS Rabat's Tough Road Ahead
FUS Rabat has been placed in Group D, which poses a significant challenge as they will compete against Pyramids FC, the reigning champions of the 2024-2025 season, alongside Sudan's Al Hilal and Guinea's Horoya AC. This group is fraught with potential challenges, as each match will be pivotal for the Moroccan team’s aspirations to progress. The competition's structure allows for home-and-away matches starting in November 2026, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals. The financial incentive for these clubs is high, with a lucrative prize of $6 million awaiting the champions, intensifying the competition amongst the participating teams.
As the anticipation builds for these fixtures, both RS Berkane and FUS Rabat are gearing up to represent Morocco on the continental stage, hoping to bring glory to their clubs and the nation.
