Mouloudia Oujda faces seventh round without clearance for new signings

Mouloudia Oujda will host Shabab Ben Guerir this afternoon at 4:00 PM in the seventh round of the Moroccan Second Professional League at the Honneur Complex in Oujda.

The team remains without clearance to register 17 new players acquired during the summer transfer window due to an ongoing ban, leaving the squad stretched thin.

The temporary management committee, led by Mohamed Hawar, has yet to resolve the registration issue, which has been a dominant topic in the local football scene.

The unresolved ban has affected not only the players, who have been sidelined for months, but also the team’s coach, Mohamed Benmasoud, who continues to adapt his tactics while waiting for the new recruits to be eligible.

The interim committee has reportedly processed 71 cases—a historic and unprecedented figure—but five critical files remain unresolved.

Among them is the high-profile case of Abdullah Khafifi, with a financial dispute of 400 million centimes, along with cases involving players Adam Nafati, Hamza Al-Summi, Marwan Al-Mazrawi, and Youssef Anwar.

With the team unable to field its summer signings, it is likely Mouloudia Oujda will rely on the same lineup used in their previous match, a mix of experienced players who carried the squad through last season.

The ongoing ban has placed the team in a precarious position, as the inability to integrate fresh talent continues to frustrate fans and players alike.

As Mouloudia Oujda steps onto the pitch today, all eyes will be on their performance under these challenging circumstances.

Meanwhile, the football community eagerly awaits a resolution to the ban, which has become a critical hurdle for the team’s ambitions this season
