Leading the competition with 59 points (18 wins, 5 draws, and one loss), the "orange" club is ahead of its two pursuers, Wydad Casablanca (WAC) and AS FAR, by 17 points.

The Kings of the East need just a point from a draw in their upcoming match against Union Touarga Sportif, scheduled for Saturday, March 15th, as part of the 25th round, to secure their first Botola Pro Inwi title.

Here are 3 reasons explaining RSB's exceptional journey in the Moroccan championship.

The Contribution of Moine Chaâbani

The Tunisian coach has been one of the key architects of Berkane's impressive form throughout the 2024-2025 season.

Drawing on his rich experience, the former coach of Espérance de Tunis has implemented a well-oiled tactical setup.

The RSB under Moine Chaâbani has particularly shone with its flawless defensive organization, as evidenced by their record of 9 goals conceded in 24 matches.

Moreover, the team has been very offensive, scoring 39 goals, averaging 1.6 goals per match.

Since his appointment as head coach in 2024, the 43-year-old technician has achieved a record of 34 victories, 11 draws, and only 9 defeats.

The Successful Transfer Windows

The Moroccan club excelled during both the summer and winter transfer windows.

The standout acquisition is international goalkeeper Munir Mohand Mohamedi El Kajoui, who conceded just 7 goals, keeping 15 clean sheets in 22 matches.

Additionally, Malian midfielder Soumaila Sidibe has significantly contributed to the midfield with his physical prowess and ability to advance the ball.

Brazilian Mateus Barbosa Santos Criciúma has also been valuable with his penetrating runs, while Moroccan winger Imad Riahi has provided 4 assists in 19 matches.

Financial Stability

Unlike several clubs in the Moroccan championship, the Renaissance Sportive de Berkane has not suffered from financial crises throughout the 2024-2025 season.

Thanks to its financial stability, the RSB has been able to fully focus on the sporting aspect.

Well-structured, the club dear to Fouzi Lekjâa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), has quickly become a major force in Morocco and on the African continent.
