Raja Casablanca warm up for League return with win against Union Sportive de Touarga

Raja Casablanca delivered a commanding performance on Wednesday afternoon, defeating Union Sportive de Touarga 3-0 in a friendly match at their Bouskoura training centre.

The victory was a clear statement of intent from the Green Team as they prepare for the return of the national professional league.

The goals came from Ayoub El Amloud, Badr Banoun, and Ismail Khafi, showcasing the team’s attacking depth and readiness under the guidance of coach Valdo.

Each strike highlighted a mix of tactical awareness and individual skill, reflecting the sharpness the players have regained after the recent mid-season break.

Raja’s preparations began in earnest on Monday when the squad resumed training sessions focused on conditioning, set-piece routines, and tactical drills.

The friendly against Union Sportive de Touarga allowed the coaching staff to test combinations and integrate returning players, ensuring the squad is cohesive and match-ready.

The team had also staged an internal training match last Saturday, splitting the squad into two groups. The “green” side overcame the “white” team 4-2 in a competitive session that emphasised teamwork and strategy.

These matches have become a crucial part of Raja’s pre-season approach, enabling the coaching staff to fine-tune both defensive organisation and attacking fluidity.

Raja Casablanca’s last official league appearance came on March 7, when they secured a vital 2-0 victory against Olympique Safi. That win demonstrated the team’s resilience and ability to control games, traits that coach Valdo is keen to carry forward into the second half of the championship.

With the league resuming soon, Raja Casablanca appears well-prepared and confident. The blend of experienced players like Badr Banoun and emerging talents such as Ismail Khafi suggests a squad capable of mounting a strong challenge for the national title.
