The AS FAR and RS Berkane football teams have successfully secured their places in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League, showcasing strong and controlled performances throughout the tournament. This exciting development means that these two Moroccan clubs will face off in a national showdown, ensuring that at least one Moroccan team will advance to the finals, marking a significant achievement for Moroccan football.
In addition to AS FAR and RS Berkane, Olympic Safi has also made it to the final four of the competition. This marks the club's first appearance at this stage, and they have certainly made an impressive impact, demonstrating solid performances during the group stage and achieving notable victories in the knockout rounds. The quarter-finals featured an all-Moroccan clash between Wydad Casablanca and Olympic Safi, highlighting the competitive nature of Moroccan clubs at this level.
This success is no mere coincidence, as Moroccan clubs have consistently reached the latter stages of continental competitions since 2019. Teams such as RS Berkane, Wydad, and Raja Casablanca have repeatedly claimed the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup titles, solidifying Morocco's status as a powerhouse in African football.
The semi-final lineup for the 2025/26 CAF Champions League is now complete, featuring South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, Tunisia's Esperance Sportive de Tunis, along with AS FAR and RS Berkane. Two major matchups are set for April: Esperance will challenge Mamelodi Sundowns in a clash between two of the continent's regulars, while AS FAR and RS Berkane will compete in what promises to be an intense Moroccan duel. The matches will be played in home-and-away formats, with each team vying for a place in the finals and the opportunity to add their name to the prestigious list of CAF Champions League winners.
