RS Berkane are making waves both on and off the field! Fresh from their Botola Pro and CAF Confederation Cup victories, the Moroccan side continues their impressive form, securing a 3-0 win against Kawkab Marrakech in the Throne Cup Round of 16.

Throne Cup Quarter-Final Showdown Looms
The victory sets up a mouthwatering quarter-final clash against AS FAR, a tie many believe could determine the eventual Throne Cup champion. With Casablanca giants Wydad AC and Raja CA already eliminated, RS Berkane and AS FAR are now considered the frontrunners for the title. The quarter-finals are scheduled for June, with specific dates still to be confirmed. Other exciting fixtures include Moghreb Tetouan vs Olympique Khouribga, Union Touarga vs Stade Marocain, and Olympique Safi vs USM Oujda.
Pogba to Berkane? A Transfer Rumour Debunked
Adding to the excitement surrounding the club, RS Berkane were recently linked with a sensational move for former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba. Reports suggested Berkane were considering offering the World Cup winner a free transfer following his departure from Juventus. However, journalist Adel Al-Amari has since reported that Pogba has no intention of playing in Africa and prefers to remain in Europe. "The information I have is that the player will not play in Africa," Al-Amari stated, dismissing rumours of a move to either Berkane or Wydad Casablanca.
While the Pogba rumour seems to be off the table, RS Berkane's on-field performances continue to impress. Their quest for silverware in the Throne Cup promises to be an exciting watch for football fans across South Africa and beyond.
