Can FAR Rabat win the CAF Champions League? They have reached the final for the first time in their history. This marks a significant achievement for the club.
FAR Rabat advanced to the final after defeating RS Berkane 2-1 on aggregate. In the second leg of the semi-final, they lost 1-0. However, their first-leg advantage secured their spot in the final.
Yassine Lebhiri scored a penalty for RS Berkane in the 57th minute of that match, but it was not enough to overturn FAR Rabat’s lead. The Moroccan club will now face Mamelodi Sundowns in the final.
The first leg of this much-anticipated final is scheduled for May 15, 2026, in South Africa. The return leg will take place on May 24, 2026, in Morocco. FAR Rabat hopes to capitalize on this opportunity.
Historically, FAR Rabat last won a major continental title during the 1984/85 season when they were champions of the previous Champions Cup. They are now aiming to add a CAF Champions League title to their accolades.
With this achievement, FAR Rabat becomes the third Moroccan club to reach this prestigious final. Mamelodi Sundowns eliminated Espérance Sportive de Tunis with a convincing 2-0 aggregate victory to secure their place.
This season, Ahmed Tagnaouti has emerged as one of FAR Rabat’s standout performers. His contributions have been vital to their success thus far. Still, details remain unconfirmed about how both teams will prepare for this crucial encounter.
The journey to this final has been remarkable for FAR Rabat. Their fans eagerly await a historic match that could define their legacy in African football.
