The National Professional Football League (LNFP) announced on Monday, November 9, that Botola Pro First Division will resume on Friday, November 27, 2026, extending the break beyond the FIFA international window.
The competition was initially suspended to allow for the international break, during which Morocco’s national team will face Niger on November 13 and 17 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
However, the LNFP said the delayed return was also due to the unavailability of several stadiums where maintenance and pitch renovation work is still underway.
“This decision comes because a number of stadiums are unavailable due to ongoing maintenance work and renovation of their pitches,” the governing body said in its statement.
First-division clubs will therefore have to wait until November 27 to return to Botola action. The LNFP has yet to announce the detailed schedule for the upcoming matchdays.
