The 2025–26 season is Raja Club Athletic's 77th season season in existence and the club's 69th consecutive season in the top flight of Moroccan football. In addition to the domestic league, they are also participating in this season's edition of the Throne Cup.
Elections
The club has set 7 July 2025, as the date for the general assembly to elect the new president and his committee.[1] Three candidates are running for the presidency: Jawad Ziyat, Abdellah Biraouine, and Said Hasbane. [2]
Ziyat is supported by the vast majority of supporters. During his first tenure between 2018 and 2020, he successfully turned the club around from a deep financial crisis and won three titles. Biraouine took over as interim president following Adil Hala's resignation in January 2025, while Said Hasbane faces stiff opposition due to his disastrous management of the club between 2016 and 2018. The meeting will be held as the club prepares to take a major step in its restructuring with the activation of its limited company (S.A.). Jawad Ziyat told Médias 24 that his first objective is to successfully launch the strategic partnership with Marsa Maroc.[3] This project, unveiled at the end of May by the club's Advisory Council, foresees the emergence of a new key player: the Raja sports company, with a capital of 250 million dirhams (MDH), of which 150 MDH will be injected by Marsa Maroc over three seasons.
In exchange, the port operator would hold 60% of the capital for 10 years, while the Raja association would retain 40% through the in-kind contribution of its assets (senior team, training center, and brand rights). This structure aims for a profound professionalization of the club's governance, with an independent board of directors, a separation between sporting and administrative functions, and a multi-year roadmap inspired by European club standards. Ultimately, the objective is to triple the club's turnover, increasing it from 100 to 300 MDH per year, according to projections put forward by Jawad Ziyat.[4]
On 7 July 2025, after an eight-hour general assembly, Jawad Ziyat and Abdellah Biraouine passed the first round with 67 and 40 votes respectively, against 35 for Said Hasbane. The second round was won by Jawad Ziyat with 91 votes against 43, so that he was officially designated as president of the club.[5] The Raja Parliament also unanimously approved the activation of the club's sports society and the partnership project with Marsa Maroc.[6]
Partnership with Marsa Maroc
On 2 August 2025, Jawad Ziyat and Driss Agoujjim, CFO of Marsa Maroc and President of Ports4Impact, signed a strategic partnership for the activation of Raja Club Athletic S.A., with the presence of Fouzi Lekjaa. Ports4Impact, the entity responsible for Marsa Maroc's CSR policy, acquired a 60% stake in Raja, for a contribution of MAD 150 million spread over three years, while the Raja CA association retained 40% of the shares.[7]
In 1987, the Office d’exploitation des ports (ODEP), Marsa Maroc's predecessor, launched its sponsorship of Raja, which has become, over the years, a strong commitment renewed each year that been continued by Marsa Maroc ever since. Ports4Impact specifies that this operation is not aimed at financial profitability, but rather reflects a desire to extend this historic alliance and contribute to the club's reconstruction, beyond any profit-making considerations. Should any profits be generated, they will be reinvested in full into the club.[8]
Ports4Impact's role will be focused exclusively on fields in which Marsa Maroc has proven expertise and where it could add value in terms of governance. As the majority shareholder of Raja Club Athletic S.A., Ports4Impact will appoint its president, who will be responsible for overseeing the club's institutional management activities. Sporting management will continue to be handled by the association through its own governing bodies.[9]
