Rabat – Maghreb de Fès have officially opened applications for a new president following Mohamed Bouzoubaa’s resignation, setting October 10 as the date for an electoral general assembly.
The club’s football association announced on Monday, that the assembly will elect a new president and executive board through a list-based voting system.
Candidates must submit their applications to the club’s administration at Saadiens Stadium in Fès’ Ville Nouvelle district by Friday, October 2, at 4 p.m.
The meeting will also examine the club’s sporting and financial reports, review the auditor’s findings and formally address the resignation of the current executive board.
Approved candidate lists will then be presented alongside their respective programs before eligible members vote to elect the new leadership.
The club said the venue and starting time of the October 10 assembly will be announced later.
Participation will be restricted to members who meet the association’s legal and statutory requirements and have fulfilled their administrative and financial obligations.
Bouzoubaa remains involved despite resignation
The announcement follows Bouzoubaa’s decision to resign as president of the club’s sporting association on September 17, citing personal reasons.
His departure from the presidency does not mark a complete withdrawal from Maghreb de Fès.
Bouzoubaa confirmed that he would continue supporting the club as its leading investor through the sports company, which remains under the leadership of Omar Bennis.
He also expressed confidence in the management’s ability to continue implementing the club’s development project.
Following his resignation, first vice-president Ali Benjelloun assumed the presidency on an interim basis under Article 23 of the association’s statutes.
The club’s Council of Elders also proposed that Bouzoubaa take over as its president in recognition of his continued involvement.
Bouzoubaa and members of the council previously called for support for the candidate list expected to be presented by Benjelloun at the electoral assembly.
The October 10 vote will determine who formally succeeds Bouzoubaa as president of the association and establish the executive board responsible for its next administrative term.
