Maghreb de Fes Set to Become Richest Football Club in Morocco After TGCC Deal
Maghreb de Fes (MAS) is on the verge of a jaw-dropping revamp after billionaire Mohamed Bouzoubaa, the construction tycoon who owns the giant firm TGCC Group, has bought a huge stake of the club – setting the stage for a football revolution in the one of the most historic clubs in Morocco.
Bouzoubaa, one of Morocco's top five richest men with a fortune estimated at $1.3 billion, made his money building mega-projects across Morocco and Africa. He is even helping to build and upgrade stadiums for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, and the 2030 World Cup co-hosted with Spain and Portugal.
The TGCC owner is expected to take up 30% of the club, alongside Ismail El Jamai (35%) and the MAS Association (35%).
Now, MAS is on track to turn into a football powerhouse, with the new cash flow poised to attract top-tier players, revamp training facilities, and eventually rival for the domestic titles against Wydad, Raja, and AS FAR.
Investments don't stop there. The club also recently signed a new sponsorship deal with Daiko, a leading home appliance brand.
Mohamed Dairy, managing director at Daiko said in a statement: 'We are thrilled to join forces with MAS. The partnership goes beyond simple sports support. It aims to create a true community around MAS and offer its fans unforgettable moments.'
On the coaching side, MAS appointed the Croatian-German coach Tomislav Stipic. The current boss worked previously in Bulgaria, Latvia, Croatia, Switzerland, and Germany. He has won two titles in his career in Latvia with Riga FC and FK Auda. Tags: Maghreb de FesMASMohamed BouzoubaaTGCC
