Moroccan football authorities have imposed record sanctions on AS FAR and Raja Casablanca following violent incidents during their recent match. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced on May 3, 2026, that AS FAR will be fined 500,000 Moroccan dirhams and deducted three points, while Raja Casablanca faces a 300,000 dirham fine and a two-point deduction.

The sanctions stem from clashes between fans that occurred during the Botola Pro match on April 30, 2026, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The violence resulted in injuries to several spectators and damage to stadium property, prompting an emergency meeting of the FRMF's disciplinary committee.

This is the harshest penalty ever handed down by the FRMF for fan misconduct, reflecting a zero-tolerance policy adopted earlier this year. Both clubs have the right to appeal the decision within 10 days.
