All eyes will be on the Municipal Stadium in Berkane tomorrow evening, Wednesday, as it hosts a crucial clash between Nahdat Berkane and their visitors Raja Club Athletic. This match, part of the Botola Pro Inwi league, is expected to be under intense scrutiny, particularly concerning the officiating team.

This encounter comes amidst significant controversy that overshadowed the 13th round of the competition. Several clubs issued protest statements regarding refereeing decisions, including Ittihad Tanger, which expressed its dissatisfaction with the officiating in its match against Raja Club Athletic – a game that sparked widespread debate within national football circles.

Raja Club Athletic, for their part, had also protested certain refereeing decisions in an official statement published on the club's website.

The sensitivity of the match is heightened by the importance of its points in the league standings, as well as concerns voiced by Raja fans and management regarding refereeing in previous matches between the two teams played at Nahdat Berkane's home ground. This places the officiating crew under immense pressure to ensure the game proceeds in a fair sporting atmosphere and to avoid any decisions that could intensify the ongoing controversy.
