Moroccan clubs AS FAR and RS Berkane met in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-finals on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in what was an all-Moroccan derby at the top level of African club football. The match was part of the knockout stage of the 2025–26 CAF Champions League competition.
AS FAR, the Moroccan army club based in Rabat, has been one of the standout performers in this edition of the tournament, reaching the semi-finals for a strong continental campaign. RS Berkane, the northeastern Moroccan club known for their consistent CAF performances in recent years, also advanced to the last four.
The second leg of the tie was scheduled to take place the following week, with the aggregate winner advancing to the final of the CAF Champions League. An all-Moroccan final remained a possibility depending on the outcome of the other semi-final.
Both clubs have strong domestic and continental pedigrees. RS Berkane, in particular, has been a regular presence in CAF inter-club competitions, having previously won the CAF Confederation Cup multiple times. AS FAR has also been a consistent force in Moroccan football and on the African stage.
