Union of Yacoub Al Mansour has secured the second promotion spot to the professional first division after drawing goalless against Kawkab Marrakech in the final round of the second division. The result was sufficient for the Rabat-based team to guarantee second place and officially join the elite ranks.
Kawkab Marrakech entered the match already assured of promotion from the previous round and managed the game conservatively, avoiding any risks. Meanwhile, Union of Yacoub Al Mansour focused on avoiding defeat and played cautiously, successfully achieving their goal.
Although the match ended without goals, its details were filled with tension and strategy, especially given the stakes involved. Both teams opted for caution instead of taking risks, but the joy for Yacoub Al Mansour at the end of the match was doubled, as their dream of returning to the top league was realized after a long season.
On the other hand, the situation was not rosy for other clubs that chased the promotion dream until the last round. Olympique de Dcheira and Raja Beni Mellal settled for third and fourth places, respectively, meaning their path to the first division will continue through the playoff matches. The two teams will clash with Hassania Agadir and Chabab Salmi from the first division in decisive encounters that will leave no room for error.
