The Moroccan Championship reaches a new milestone in television production quality
The television production of the Moroccan football championship is set to enter a new phase of modernisation, further confirming the Kingdom’s continental leadership in this field since 2006, both in technical and qualitative terms. This major evolution will begin as early as this weekend and marks a significant step forward in the way domestic football is broadcast.
Several matches will now be produced with enhanced technical setups, reaching up to 16 cameras for certain fixtures, while others will benefit from at least 14 cameras, as part of a gradual upgrade process that is expected to be extended over the coming seasons. This evolution is also accompanied by the wider introduction of cutting-edge technologies, notably super slow motion, the categorisation of matches according to their importance, and the use of specialised cameras for major fixtures.
Thus, the match between Raja de Casablanca and Renaissance de Zemamra will be produced using 16 cameras, including modern tools such as steadycam systems, drone footage and high-precision slow motion, supported by a 4K HDR production unit.
Other matches will also benefit from a notable upgrade. The fixture between Hassania d’Agadir and Union Yacoub El Mansour will be covered by 14 cameras using an HD production unit, as will the match between Ittihad de Tanger and Kawkab de Marrakech, which will have at least the same technical setup.
As for the clash between AS FAR and JS Kabylie, it will be produced with more than 14 cameras thanks to a modern 4K IP production unit, ensuring a visual experience in line with major international competitions.
This transformation represents a major step for Moroccan football, with the stated ambition of gradually generalising the use of advanced technologies such as super slow motion cameras, broadcast cranes, steadycams and cameras positioned behind the goals, in order to offer viewers an increasingly immersive experience.
This evolution further confirms Morocco’s position as a regional reference in sports production, at a time when some television channels in the region, such as in Algeria, still struggle to ensure regular and high-quality broadcasts of their own championships, with certain matches sometimes aired using very limited technical resources.
Thanks to these ongoing investments, the Moroccan championship is strengthening its appeal and now offers supporters, both in Morocco and abroad, a television experience worthy of the world’s leading football leagues.
