2021–22 Moroccan Throne Cup

The Moroccan Throne Cup or the Throne Cup (Arabic: كأس العرش) is a knockout football tournament in Moroccan football, organized by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.The first club to win this cup was Mouloudia Oujda. Since the inception of the cup, the system has been one-match, but this system has been modified to back and forth.

The Throne Cup champion qualifies directly to the CAF Confederation Cup, but if the cup champion is the same as the league champion in that season or a participant in the CAF Champions League, the club that played the final is the one who compensates him in the external competition, and the ASFAR is the club most crowned with the title Throne Cup with 12 titles as a record. The current champions are RS Berkane.^[1]

History

MC Oujda won the first two edition of the throne cup after defeating Wydad AC in both finals.^[2]^[3]

Format

The current format features 4 preliminary rounds and the final phase. All games are one-legged.

The final phase starts with the Round of 32 where the 16 teams qualified from the fourth round are joined by all 16 Botola teams. Draws are "blind", meaning a Botola team can be drawn in one match with a team from the same league. The Round of 32 is followed by the Round of 16 matches, quarterfinals, semifinals and a final. Although not only one stadium has hosted the final, it is usually played in the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
