Kawkab Marrakech lead Botola Pro standings after Week 7

Morocco’s Botola Pro has been suspended for the November international break, with Kawkab Marrakech sitting top of the 2026-27 league standings after seven rounds.

The National Professional Football League (LNFP) announced the suspension on Sunday to accommodate international fixtures scheduled between November 9 and 20.

The league is expected to communicate the dates for the resumption of domestic football in the coming days.

Kawkab Marrakech head into the break with 16 points from seven matches, holding a two-point advantage over second-placed CODM Meknes.

Their position at the summit was strengthened by a 2-1 victory over Wydad Casablanca on Saturday, while CODM maintained the pressure on the leaders with a 1-0 win against Moghreb Tetouan.

Raja Casablanca move into third place

Raja Casablanca also finished the latest round on a positive note after securing a 2-0 victory over Ittihad Tangier on Sunday at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium.

Aymen Barkok opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the seventh minute before Ayoub El Amloud doubled Raja’s advantage shortly before half-time.

The victory lifted the Casablanca giants into third place with 12 points, leaving them four points behind league leaders Kawkab Marrakech.

AS FAR, Wydad Casablanca and Maghreb Fez are next in the standings, with all three clubs having collected 11 points.

AS FAR strengthened their position with a 3-1 victory over Difaâ El Jadida on Sunday, although the Rabat-based club have played one match fewer than their rivals.

Wydad, meanwhile, entered the international break five points behind the leaders following their defeat in Marrakech.

Renaissance Zemamra remain bottom

At the other end of the table, Renaissance Zemamra are struggling after collecting just two points from their opening seven matches.

Moghreb Tetouan are also without a league victory this season and occupy 15th position with three points.

Both sides will be hoping to improve their performances when the domestic competition resumes.

Morocco prepare for Niger double-header

The suspension of the Botola Pro will allow Moroccan internationals to join their respective national teams for the November international window.

Morocco’s senior national team, under coach Mohamed Ouahbi, will face Niger twice in Group A of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Atlas Lions will host Niger at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on November 13 before travelling to the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat for the return encounter on November 17.

Both matches are scheduled to kick off at 20:00 local time.

Morocco head into the double-header with six points from their opening two qualifying matches against Gabon and Lesotho.

The national team will begin preparations on Monday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, while Botola Pro clubs await confirmation of the fixtures for the resumption of the domestic season.
