In a formal message addressed to the players, coaching staff, and officials, the Moroccan monarch praised the team’s determination and exemplary spirit that led them to victory in the 2024-2025 edition of the competition.
RS Berkane, who had secured a 2-0 advantage in the first leg at home, sealed the title after a 1-1 draw against Tanzania’s Simba SC in the return leg, ensuring a 3-1 aggregate triumph.
“We proudly congratulate you on this African victory, the third of its kind for your brilliant club, and through which you have reaffirmed that your team remains an example of professionalism, marked by a sportsmanship and high competitiveness, and which strives to support the continental achievements of our elite clubs and to contribute to the continued influence of Moroccan football, both on a continental and international scale,” King Mohammed VI wrote in his message.
The monarch commended the club not only for its tactical and athletic accomplishments, but also for its unwavering dedication to promoting Moroccan football across the continent and beyond.
He highlighted the team’s consistency in maintaining high standards and acting as ambassadors for Moroccan sport.
King Mohammed VI also acknowledged the wider impact of RS Berkane’s success, emphasizing the club’s patriotic spirit and its role in strengthening Morocco’s position within African football.
He wished the team further achievements and encouraged them to continue enriching the nation’s footballing legacy.
This latest triumph reinforces RS Berkane’s growing stature in African football.
Having previously lifted the CAF Cup titles in 2020 and 2022, the club has now added a third continental trophy to its cabinet, underscoring its position among the elite teams in the region.
The victory comes as a significant milestone not only for RS Berkane but for Moroccan football at large, reflecting the increasing competitiveness and prominence of Moroccan clubs on the continental stage.
