Moroccan club Renaissance Berkane are set to receive a financial reward of $700,000 from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after qualifying for the group stage of the CAF Champions League.

The Orange side are also expected to receive an additional grant of around 50 million centimes from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) to support Moroccan clubs competing in continental competitions.

Berkane Seal Group-Stage Qualification

Renaissance Berkane officially secured their place in the group stage after beating Sierra Leone’s Star Sport Academy 1-0 in the second leg of their play-off tie.

The Moroccan side had already taken control of the contest with a 2-0 victory away from home in the first leg.

Their second win completed a 3-0 aggregate triumph, confirming their progress to the next stage of Africa’s premier club competition.

Financial Boost for the Moroccan Club

Qualification is expected to bring a significant financial boost to Berkane, with CAF’s reported $700,000 reward supplemented by the anticipated support from the FRMF.

The club will now turn its attention to the group stage as it prepares to continue its campaign in the continental competition.
