Raja Club Athletic Academy, Football training center in Bouskoura, Morocco
The Raja Club Athletic Academy is a football training center in Bouskoura, near Casablanca. It has two full-size pitches, four small artificial fields, a gym, a medical center, and a residential building for young players.
The academy was built after the club's run to the final of the 2013 Club World Cup, when King Mohammed VI promised the club a plot of land in Bouskoura. Construction began in 2016 and was completed in 2021, with the official inauguration taking place in 2022.
The academy is a source of pride for Raja fans, who see it as a place where young talents grow and learn. Its name is often mentioned alongside the club's achievements, and the atmosphere around match days can be felt even from outside.
The academy is in Bouskoura, south of Casablanca, and is easiest to reach by car. Visitors should check in advance whether tours or visits are possible, as access is usually limited to staff, players, and invited guests.
The academy was the first football school in Morocco to combine sports training with regular schooling, allowing young players to continue their education. It was also named the best club training center in the country in 2021.
