Moroccan football clubs across both the first and second divisions are currently grappling with severe financial crises, creating a detrimental atmosphere within their ranks.
This has led to some players initiating strikes against participating in collective training sessions, scenes that contradict the principles of professionalism and are unacceptable even in the realm of amateur sports.
The financial disputes and accumulated debts have been passed down from one management team to another within these clubs, leaving some barred from participating in transfer markets by FIFA sanctions due to unresolved disputes with former players and coaches.
The delay and sometimes absence of payments owed have become among the darker aspects tarnishing Moroccan football and hindering its progress.
Despite this, some club presidents attempt to pacify their supporters with justifications that neither satisfy nor alleviate the situation.
Instead, some exacerbate the issue through misguided attempts at resolution.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation finds itself at the heart of the storm, urged to intervene and mitigate these crises that have become the focal point of national football.
It is imperative for them to stem the tide before it is too late.
Club presidents are also under pressure to find internal solutions to their problems with players and coaches without burdening the club’s treasury with troubles that could cast a shadow over the team for years to come.
Additionally, club management must undergo continuous training to understand their roles and responsibilities, providing the value they were elected to deliver.
