Intensifying Title Race in the Moroccan Professional League
On Sunday, May 25, 2026, the 21st round of the "Inwi" Professional League concluded, showcasing fierce competition and intense matchups across the board. The results from this round have started to clarify the contenders for the championship title as well as the teams battling for survival in the league.
The round kicked off with a significant victory for Ittihad Tanger, who secured a crucial win against Maghreb Fez (MAS) with a score of 1-0 in Fez. This win marks a continued positive streak for Ittihad Tanger since the appointment of coach Abdelhak Benchikha, while MAS's disappointing performance has seen them slip from the top of the standings once again.
Taking full advantage of MAS's setback, Raja Casablanca emerged victorious with a commendable win against Olympique Dcheira, further solidifying their position at the top of the league table. Meanwhile, Olympique Dcheira's ongoing poor results are exacerbating their struggles at the bottom of the rankings.
Wydad Casablanca also made significant strides in their match against Hassania Agadir, winning 3-2 and keeping their championship hopes alive as they narrowed the gap with the leaders to just two points. In contrast, Hassania Agadir continues to suffer from a loss of points, edging closer to relegation territory.
Additionally, RS Berkane emerged as one of the key beneficiaries of this round, achieving a valuable home win against Renaissance Zemamra, thereby cementing their place among the league's frontrunners. A draw of 1-1 between Hassani Agadir and Olympique Safi has complicated matters for the latter, as they find themselves struggling at the lower end of the table.
In another match, Ittihad Tawraka secured an important win over Ittihad Yaacoub Mansour, successfully escaping the bottom position and revitalizing their hopes of remaining in the top tier. The Marrakech-based team, Kawkab, delivered a strong performance, defeating their guests from Meknes with a score of 3-1, which reinforced their mid-table standing.
It is worth noting that the match between Royal Army and Fath Rabat was postponed due to the Army's commitment to the CAF Champions League final against South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns.
This season's competition has proven to be riveting, with the title race heating up as teams vie for the ultimate prize while others fight to avoid relegation. The coming weeks promise to bring even more excitement as the league progresses.
