The Kénitra club is battling for promotion amidst a “crippling financial siege” and calls for increased fan support!
As Kénitra’s football team clinched a precious victory at home against Chabab Al-Massira, giving them a strong boost in the race for promotion to the first professional division—a goal the city’s fans have rallied around for years—the team finds itself shackled by a severe financial crisis that does not reflect the magnitude of their ambitions or the expectations of the sports community.
This difficult situation arises despite Kénitra hosting an industrial zone that includes dozens of major companies and factories, as well as real estate developers who own significant projects, yet there is a noticeable absence of sponsors. The lack of support from these economic entities for the only team representing the city in the championship raises many questions about the reasons behind this “unjustified economic blockade” that threatens the club’s journey.
Under this pressure, the club is heavily relying on “fan support” through ticket sales. However, the last three matches held at the municipal stadium in Kénitra witnessed a decline in attendance, and the issue of individuals entering the covered stand without tickets exacerbates the club’s financial losses, costing them important revenue.
Civil activities have called for a campaign under the slogan: “Buy your ticket, support your team,” urging strict enforcement against anyone entering the stadium without a ticket in an attempt to ensure sustained critical fan support for the team’s push for promotion.
