Botola Pro 1: AS FAR gear up for tough RS Berkane showdown

AS FAR are gearing up for a demanding encounter against RS Berkane as the Botola Pro resumes with a crucial postponed fixture.

The Royal Army side will host Berkane on Wednesday at 20:00 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, in a match from the delayed 12th round of the national championship.

Head coach Alexandre Santos has intensified preparations ahead of the clash, bringing his squad back to training as they look to maintain momentum in the league.

The team resumed work earlier this week, with the technical staff scheduling key sessions to fine-tune tactics and readiness for the highly anticipated showdown.

Santos had initially granted his players a brief rest before calling them back to focus, underlining the importance of the upcoming fixture against one of the league’s strongest sides.

This meeting adds another chapter to the growing rivalry between the two teams, who have already faced each other in high-pressure encounters this season.

Notably, AS FAR recently overcame Berkane in continental competition, securing qualification for the CAF Champions League final despite suffering a narrow defeat in the second leg.

That achievement marked a significant return for the Rabat-based club to the top tier of African football after years away, further raising expectations ahead of their domestic campaign.

With both sides aiming to assert themselves in the title race, the upcoming clash promises intensity and high stakes as AS FAR look to build on their recent success and Berkane seek a strong response.
