The Moroccan club produced a strong performance at the Military Sports Centre on Friday afternoon, using the fixture as part of their preparations for the domestic league and the CAF Confederation Cup.

Royal Army prepare for delayed league start

The friendly formed part of Royal Army’s preparations after the National Professional Football League postponed their opening two league fixtures.

Their matches against Raja Casablanca and Renaissance Berkane were delayed because several Royal Army players were involved with their respective national teams.

The club will now continue preparations for the start of their domestic campaign while also looking ahead to their CAF Confederation Cup commitments.
