Raja Casablanca are facing uncertainty over their planned pre-season training camp in Spain after delays in obtaining entry visas for team members disrupted preparations for the new Moroccan league season.
The Moroccan club had arranged an overseas camp in Spain as part of their preparations for the upcoming campaign, including a high-profile friendly match against Valencia. However, administrative delays have placed the trip in doubt, with postponement or cancellation now among the possible outcomes.
Raja’s management is working urgently to resolve the issue and avoid major changes to the club’s preparation schedule. Officials are continuing discussions with the relevant authorities in the hope that the necessary travel documents can be secured and the delegation can depart as originally planned.
The squad was expected to travel to Spain several days before the match against Valencia, giving players enough time to settle into the training environment and prepare physically and tactically before facing the Spanish side.
However, the unresolved visa situation has created uncertainty over the timing of the trip. The club is now considering different possibilities while attempting to limit the impact on the team’s pre-season programme.
Despite the disruption, Raja’s coaching staff have continued organising training sessions in Morocco to ensure players maintain their fitness levels while waiting for a final decision on the travel arrangements.
The friendly match against Valencia remains an important part of the club’s preparations. The fixture provides the coaching staff with an opportunity to measure the team’s progress, evaluate new signings and assess the overall readiness of the squad before competitive matches begin.
For Raja, completing the Spain camp successfully is considered a priority because the current stage of preparation is viewed as crucial in building a team capable of competing across domestic and continental competitions during the new season.
The club’s supporters are hoping the visa problems can be resolved quickly and that the planned trip can go ahead without significant changes.
Raja’s management believes the overseas camp will play a key role in preparing the players for the challenges ahead, particularly as the team looks to enter the new season in strong physical and tactical condition.
The delay comes at an inconvenient moment for the club, with the technical staff seeking stability and maximum preparation time before official competitions begin. A successful resolution would allow Raja to continue their preparations as planned, while further delays could force adjustments to their schedule.
For now, the club remains focused on finding a solution, with the coming hours expected to determine whether the Spain training camp and Valencia friendly will proceed according to the original plan.
