Abdel Salam Belkashour, president of the National Professional Football League, revealed the details of the budget of the Nahdet Berkane team, stressing that its income remains normal compared to the rest of the national clubs.
He explained that the team’s annual budget amounts to 5 billion cents, which is equivalent to half of the Wydad Sports Club’s budget, emphasizing that the team relies on a set of fixed financial sources.
Team income: the Confederation contributes greatly to this
RS Berkane benefits from its continued participation in the African Confederation Cup, since this participation provides it with revenues estimated at around one and a half billion per year, which constitute a large part of its annual budget.
In addition, the team receives financial subsidies based on the ranking of the local championship and the Throne Cup.
Support the university and local celebrities
In addition to tournament revenues, RS Berkane receives annual financial support from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation in the amount of 600 million centimes, the same support that other national clubs receive.
Local celebrities also help finance the team, with the club relying on well-known companies in eastern Morocco, but without revealing their names.
Local council scholarships and advancements in African competitions
In addition to support from the university, the Volcano team receives financial grants from local councils, which vary depending on the team’s progress in the African tours.
These grants form another part of the team’s budget as they seek to continue in international competitions.
Nahdet Berkane: A transparent budget based on specific sources
In his speech, Belkchour stressed that RS Berkane does not receive any support from public funds or state institutions, stressing that the team’s budget is transparent and based on clear and precise financial resources, which reflects financial independence of the team vis-à-vis government institutions.
