PORTS4IMPACT ENTERS THE CAPITAL OF RAJA CLUB ATHLETIC S.A

The Ports4Impact association, which oversees Marsa Maroc’s CSR policy, and Raja Club Athletic S.A. have announced that they have reached an agreement allowing the association to acquire a stake in the club. This initiative aims to support the restructuring of this iconic club and contribute to preserving a major part of the nation’s sporting heritage.

Since 1987, the “Office d’Exploitation des Ports”, Marsa Maroc’s predecessor, has supported Raja Club Athletic (RCA), a club that has made its mark in Morocco and Africa. This support became a strong and renewed commitment, naturally continued by Marsa Maroc to this day. This partnership goes beyond simple sponsorship: it symbolizes mutual recognition between a leading Moroccan company, focused on excellence and openness to Africa, and a club that embodies the same values of leadership, performance, patriotism, and African identity.

Today, the partnership is taking on a new dimension. The Ports4Impact association is putting this development into practice by acquiring a 60% stake in Raja Club Athletic S.A., with an investment of MAD 150 million spread over three years.

This operation is not driven by financial profitability. It reflects a responsible approach aimed at supporting the club’s reconstruction. Any profits will be reinvested in the Club’s development. As part of the national drive to restructure professional soccer, this initiative supports the club in its restructuring process, helping it to build solid foundations in terms of governance and management, with the aim of enabling it to regain its position as a leading club at both the national and continental levels.

The role of the Ports4Impact association will focus on areas where Marsa Maroc has recognized expertise, thereby providing real added value in terms of governance and management. As the majority shareholder, the association will appoint the Chairman responsible for overseeing the management and institutional development of the club. Sports governance will remain the responsibility of the RCA association, through its own governing bodies.

Through this initiative, Ports4Impact confirms its commitment to promoting national sport, supporting Moroccan youth who are passionate about soccer, and its ambition to see Moroccan sports flourish on the continent and internationally.

The Ports4Impact association is fully committed to this project, while respecting what Raja Club Athletic represents: an institution, a popular passion, and an ambassador for Moroccan soccer.
