Moroccan league budget totals 965 million dirhams

The Moroccan National Professional Football League's overall budget has reached 965 million dirhams, according to Abdelmalek Benckik, the league's president. Benckik presented this figure during a meeting of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation's (FRMF) board of directors in Salé.

The presentation focused on the performance indicators of the professional national league, highlighting the digital transformation initiatives undertaken by the league between 2022 and 2026. These efforts included modernizing the management of competitions and improving services offered to clubs. The meeting, chaired by FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa, also addressed the transfer market, training center data, youth player development, and insurance-related matters, alongside dispute resolution.

Significant efforts are being made to reduce the number of cases presented to relevant bodies and to expedite their resolution. This focus aims to reinforce contractual commitments, thereby fostering financial and administrative stability within professional clubs. Benckik emphasized that continued digitalization, enhanced governance, improved training, and effective dispute management remain top priorities for the league as it seeks to elevate the competitiveness of national clubs.

The league also provided statistics on player qualifications, the number of foreign players in the professional league, player transfers between national clubs, new signings from amateur clubs, and the number of players in youth leagues. The FRMF board approved a proposal from the National Professional Football League to postpone team matches when more than three of their players are called up to the senior national team.
