FUS Rabat FC: Football Guide to Fath Union Sport, Honours and African Kick Off Times

FUS Rabat, in full Fath Union Sport, is a football club from Rabat in Morocco, founded on 10 April 1946 and best known from the Botola Pro, the Moroccan top flight. They play at Moulay El Hassan Stadium (capacity about 22,000), and their honours include the 2015-16 Botola title, six Throne Cups and the 2010 CAF Confederation Cup. If you first met the club as a soccer scoreline on your phone during a CAF night, the story behind those three letters is richer than the scoreline suggests.

What follows covers the name and what it means, the ground, who coaches the club and where to check, the honours with their years, and the night in December 2010 when FUS became champions of Africa's second club competition. After that come the women's breakthrough of 2026, the Rabat derby with AS FAR and the reasons a reader in Lagos, Nairobi or Johannesburg might keep an eye on this Moroccan side. In my opinion, FUS are one of the most underrated names in North African football, and the record book backs that up. The live squad, fixtures and results sit in the modules above and update after every match.

Who Are FUS Rabat, and What Does Fath Union Sport Mean?

FUS Rabat is the football section of Fath Union Sport, an omnisports club in the Moroccan capital whose other sections include basketball and chess. The letters FUS are simply the initials of the full name, which is why fus rabat, FUS Rabat FC and Fath Union Sport all point to the same club in news coverage. If a live score app shows FUS and an Arabic language report says Fath, you are reading about one team, much as a Lagos danfo conductor and a map can call the same bus stop by two names.

Where Do FUS Rabat Play?

FUS Rabat play their home matches at Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat, a ground with a capacity of about 22,000. Their great neighbours AS FAR, the army club and the other half of the Rabat derby, share the same city, so a derby is a trip across town rather than a journey across the country. For the venue of any given match, and any change of ground, the fixtures module above is the place to check, because arrangements can shift from season to season.

Who Is the Coach of FUS Rabat?

The current FUS Rabat coach's name sits in the live squad module above. Philippe Troussier was in charge from 1995 to 1997 and took FUS to the quarter finals of the 1996 CAF Cup Winners' Cup. Walid Regragui coached the club from 2014 to 2020, a spell that brought the 2015-16 Botola title, before he went on to take charge of the Morocco national team. Perhaps no Moroccan club can claim a better finishing school for coaches.

What Have FUS Rabat Won?

FUS Rabat have won one Botola title, six Throne Cups and one CAF Confederation Cup. The league crown came in 2015-16, and it was a long time coming, because FUS had finished second five times before it, in 1972-73, 1973-74, 1980-81, 2000-01 and 2011-12. The Throne Cup, Morocco's knockout cup, has been kinder, with wins in 1966-67, 1972-73, 1975-76, 1994-95, 2010 and 2014. On the continent, the 2010 Confederation Cup was followed by a place in the 2011 CAF Super Cup, where FUS finished runners up.

Read the list by decade and a pattern appears. There is a strong spell in the late 1960s and 1970s, a quieter spell, then a cluster of trophies between 2010 and 2016 that marks the best era in the club's history. That cluster earns FUS a place among the North African giants in conversation and stands alongside the honours of any club in the capital. The five second places tell their own story, of a club that was often close in the league and learned to finish the job in cups first. What would add to the shelf is simple enough: a second league title to sit beside 2015-16.

How Did FUS Win the 2010 CAF Confederation Cup?

FUS won the 2010 CAF Confederation Cup by beating CS Sfaxien of Tunisia 3-2 in the second leg of the final, played away on 4 December 2010, after a goalless first leg in Morocco. The 0-0 first leg meant a score draw in Sfaxien would have favoured FUS on away goals, so FUS needed only to avoid conceding more than they scored, with another goalless draw taking the tie to penalties. FUS found their opening inside seven minutes, when Abdelfettah Boukhriss scored to give them the lead away in Sfaxien.

Sfaxien scored twice on the night, and the final turned on the closing stages, when Mohamed Zouidi struck in the 75th minute and again around the 89th. Late goals like those are the kind that turn a Lagos viewing centre into a street party, and they brought FUS a continental title. FUS became only the second Moroccan club to win the Confederation Cup, after their derby neighbours FAR Rabat in 2005. This is the one match every new follower of the club should know, because it explains why FUS carry weight whenever a CAF draw is made.

How Is the FUS Rabat Squad Set Out?

The FUS Rabat squad module above lists the current players by position, with shirt numbers, and updates as players arrive and leave in each window, so names in the present squad are kept there rather than in this text. The club's best known figures sit in the record book. Khalid Labied scored the only goal of the 1976 Throne Cup final and later shared the top scorer award at the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations, while Boukhriss and Zouidi wrote their names into 2010. If you are scanning the fus rabat players list for a Nigerian, Ghanaian or Kenyan name, the module shows nationality beside each player, which is the quickest way to spot an African connection this season.

Where Is the Latest FUS Rabat News, and How Do You Follow Fixtures From Africa?

The latest fus rabat news, results and fixtures sit in the data modules above, which update after every match, so the written guide stays true from one season to the next. The Fus Rabat fixtures list shows each league, cup and continental match with kick off times in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT together. That way a reader in Accra on GMT, one in Lagos on WAT, one in Johannesburg on SAST and one in Kampala or Nairobi on EAT all see the same game at their own hour. Most readers follow through phone live scores and highlights, so checking the module before a match saves a late surprise.

FUS Rabat Women: A First CAF Champions League Finals in 2026

The FUS Rabat women's team qualified for the CAF Women's Champions League finals for the first time in 2026, winning the UNAF qualifiers on 7 September with three wins from three. They beat CF Akbou of Algeria 4-0, AS Féminine de Sousse of Tunisia 7-0 and Masar FC 3-1, scoring fourteen goals and conceding one. That is a statement from a side new to this stage, and it puts FUS into a competition that has featured clubs from Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. For the finals dates, venue and kick off times, the fixtures module carries the details once they are confirmed.

From Union Musulmane to the Rabat Derby: The History in Brief

FUS Rabat trace their roots to the Union Musulmane de Rabat-Salé, created in 1932, and the club as it is known today was founded as Fath Union Sport on 10 April 1946. That makes FUS older than Moroccan independence, and the early Throne Cup wins of 1966-67 and 1972-73 came while the national game was still finding its shape. The 1970s were the first golden spell, with a cup win in 1975-76 and back to back league runners up finishes, and Labied's goal in the 1976 final belongs to that era.

The Rabat derby with AS FAR is the rivalry that defines the club, and the 2009 Throne Cup final brought that meeting to the cup's biggest stage. FUS lost the 2009 final to their neighbours, then responded a year later by beating Maghreb Fez 2-1 in the 2010 final, in the same year they won the Confederation Cup. It could be argued that losing to AS FAR stung FUS into the best twelve months in their history. The 2009 final remains a memorable chapter in the derby's history.

Why Do Readers in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa Follow FUS Rabat?

Most African readers meet FUS Rabat through CAF club competition, where a Moroccan side with a continental title on its record is always a dangerous draw. CAF draws give readers a reason to learn about potential opponents: when a club from your own league is drawn against a Moroccan side, you want to know who they are. The Confederation Cup history matters to a Nairobi or Lagos reader because it tells you how seriously FUS take the continent.

For South African readers, the meetings between Premiership clubs and Moroccan sides in CAF matches have become a regular part of the calendar, and the results module above is the place to see how FUS fare in any tie. The wider continental picture includes Tunisia's CS Sfaxien, Algeria's CF Akbou and Masar FC, names FUS have met in continental competition, CS Sfaxien in the 2010 final and CF Akbou and Masar FC in the women's qualifiers in 2026. Morocco is a continental football power, and the national team is a regular at the Africa Cup of Nations, with a former FUS coach in Regragui having led it. That link gives the club a reach well beyond Rabat.

For Nigerian readers there is a lovely thread back to Lagos. Labied's shared top scorer award came at the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations, the tournament Nigeria hosted and won, the first continental title for the Green Eagles who later became the Super Eagles. A FUS legend played his part on the same stage as the Nigerian side that won it in Lagos. When a Nigerian club meets FUS in the Confederation Cup, or a Super Eagle signs for a Moroccan side, that shared history is worth remembering, and the squad module is where any Nigerian name will appear first.
