Founded in 2019 by its president Ahmed Ahsane,[3] the club managed to secure promotion to Moroccan Division 2 Féminine during the 2019–20 season.[4] After spending three seasons in the second tier, the Marrakchi club secured promotion in the 2022–23 season by finishing first in the South Group and later placed second overall after falling to CS Hilal Temara in the final.[5][6] In February 2024, Rachid Ghaflaoui was appointed as the technical director of the academy.[7]
Identity
Phoenix's colours are "white", "pinkish-red", and "black". Its crest features concentric rings in red and black, with a stylized phoenix in the center, its wings outstretched in red and black, holding a ball. The phoenix is positioned within a shield-shaped area, symbolizing resilience and strength, while the design emphasizes the club's forward momentum. The crest serves as a reminder to always rise and soar.
