Maghreb of Fez

Maghreb Fez is considered one of the founding clubs of Moroccan football. Since its establishment in 1946, it has played an early role in national competitions, notably becoming the first non-French team to reach the later stages of the French Cup, where it faced Red Star FC.

Following the creation of the Moroccan championship, Maghreb Fez established itself among the competitive clubs in the league. The club developed its own organizational structure, including administrative management and financial resources supported by local figures in the city.

The stadium has been welcoming the team since 2007 at the Fez Stadium, which has a capacity of 45,000 spectators. The construction of the sports complex began in early 1992, and it was expected to be completed in February 1997, as it was scheduled to host the African Youth Cup next to the honorary stadium of Meknes, but the failure to complete the workshops prevented that, after the completion period knew stops And several failures as a result of technical problems added to the original financial envelope in financing the project,^[27] which was what led the interests of the guardianship ministry and the urban group of Fez in 1999 to find another support for the completion of the project, The urban group contributed three million euros, and the concerned ministry contributed eight million euros, while the amount allocated for the completion of this sports landmark, which has a capacity of 45 thousand spectators, was estimated at 35 million euros. Construction and equipment works were completed in 2003.
