King Mohammed VI has warmly congratulated all elements of RS Berkane on winning the CAF Confederation Cup yesterday against South Africa’s Orlando Pirates.
In his message, the monarch stressed that RS Berkane’s new achievement is an honor to Moroccan football and the whole Moroccan nation, highlighting the club’s dedication and commitment to representing Morocco in the best way possible and maintaining the precious title in Morocco.
RS Berkane won the CAF Confederation Cup title after beating South Africa’s Orlando Pirates on penalties 5-4 (1-1 on aggregate) in yesterday’s game held at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria.
Having earned its second CAF Confederation Cup, RS Bekane has further solidified Moroccan teams’ dominance over the coveted African title in recent years.

RS Berkane will now contest in the 2022-23 African Super Cup against the winner of the much-anticipated CAF Champions League final between Morocco’s Wydad AC and Egypt’s Al Ahly scheduled to take place on May 30 at the Mohammed VI Stadium in Casablanca.
The King wished all the best to RS Berkane in its upcoming campaign, saying he hoped for other Moroccan clubs to follow the northeastern team’s lead and further assert Morocco’s remarkable presence on Africa’s biggest football stages.
While RS Berkane managed to clinch Africa’s second-best continental title following a breathless game against their South African opponents, Wydad AC is less than two weeks ahead of a nervy CAF Champions League title against Egypt’s Al Ahly.
Scheduled to take place at Mohammed VI Stadium in Casablanca on May 30, the much-anticipated final will seal the ultimate winners of the biggest title in club football in Africa.
