Morocco Fassi Club Bolsters Squad for Upcoming Challenges
Morocco Fassi Club, the newly crowned champions of the Moroccan Professional League for the 2025-2026 season, has announced the signing of four new players as it prepares for an exciting upcoming season. This season holds significant importance for the club as they are set to participate in the African Champions League for the first time in its current format, marking a historic milestone for the team.
In July, Morocco Fassi clinched the title after a thrilling competition with last season's champions, Renaissance Berkane, along with Royal Army and Raja Casablanca. The team emerged victorious in the final round of the league, showcasing their resilience and determination.
Just one day after the draw for the African Champions League, where Morocco Fassi will face Burkina Faso's FC Rahimo in the preliminary round, the club made headlines by aggressively entering the player transfer market in Morocco. They officially secured the signings of four new players to strengthen their squad before embarking on their African journey.
Following the appointment of their new coach, Portuguese manager Almeida, the team has added notable talents, including Congolese-French striker Christopher Ibai, who has joined Morocco Fassi as part of their summer transfer activities. In addition to Ibai, the club has also signed South African forward Chigiwafatso John Mabasa, who comes from Stellenbosch FC in South Africa.
Moreover, to bolster their defensive line, the Moroccan champions have acquired Senegalese defender Samba Mbengue. Earlier, on Thursday evening, Morocco Fassi also announced the signing of defender Abdullah Khafifi, another strategic move aimed at solidifying the team's defense. With these four new players joining the squad under the guidance of coach Almeida, Morocco Fassi is gearing up for their debut in the African Champions League.
These signings reflect the proactive approach of Morocco Fassi’s management as they seek to reorganize the team and enhance its composition with players capable of making significant contributions in preparation for the new season. The Morocco Fassi Club's first match in the African Champions League will be against FC Rahimo, with the first leg taking place in Burkina Faso, followed by the return leg in Fes.
