Championship expansion faces schedule challenges
The Moroccan Football Federation and the National League discussed the decision to expand the professional league from 16 to 20 teams. Seventeen clubs voted in favor of the expansion, while some clubs, including Raja, Wydad, and AS FAR, opposed or abstained. However, implementing the project requires a review of the league's legal and regulatory texts, especially since Article 6 of the Federation's regulations limits the maximum number of clubs to 16, which necessitates amending the Federation's statutes before proceeding. Additionally, there will be a significant increase in the number of matches, rising from 240 to approximately 380 per season, raising concerns about calendar congestion, logistical challenges, and infrastructure. The Moroccan Professional Footballers Union supports the expansion, believing it will create job opportunities and promote competitive development. However, financial challenges remain, given the higher costs associated with additional matches, travel, and accommodation. The decision to expand depends on the results of legal and regulatory studies, amid ongoing divisions among clubs regarding the process and its future. The move to 20 teams remains contingent upon meeting the necessary legal and organizational conditions.
