Alexandre Santos is the most recent recorded appointment in FAR Rabat’s coaching timeline, beginning on 1 February 2025.

Santos, a Portuguese coach born in 1976, followed Hubert Velud, who led the club from October 2024 to February 2025. Czesław Michniewicz preceded Velud from July to October 2024, after Mohamed Nasreddine Nabi’s spell beginning in July 2023.

Transfers Synthesis

FAR Rabat’s recorded movement pattern combines permanent recruitment, free-agent arrivals, loans and returns from loan. The incoming activity includes players joining from Moroccan clubs, overseas sides and regional teams, while the outgoing list covers domestic destinations, Gulf clubs, African clubs and European destinations. Loan returns appear among the arrivals, and loan placements or returns to parent clubs appear among the departures, showing that the squad cycle includes both registration changes and temporary moves. The same period also contains entries with an unspecified movement type, so not every event can be classified more precisely. Several movements are dated across the 2025 and 2026 windows, and the published lists are limited selections rather than exhaustive totals. No recorded amounts are attached to these movements, leaving the available picture focused on direction, timing and movement type rather than financial scale.

Leagues FAR Rabat has participated in

FAR Rabat’s recent recorded competitive footprint centres on Botola Pro, with league participation recorded from 2016 through 2025, and the CAF Champions League, recorded from 2023 through 2025. These are the latest active competition records available, rather than a guarantee of a 2026 fixture schedule. Historical entries include the competition listed as Cup from 2020 to 2024, the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023, the CAF Confederation Cup from 2021 to 2022 and club friendlies in 2020. The record therefore spans domestic, continental, regional and non-competitive football.

More about FAR Rabat

Association Sportive des Forces Armées Royales, commonly known as FAR Rabat or AS FAR, is a Rabat football institution founded in 1958. Its identity is closely tied to the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, giving the club an organisational character shaped by discipline, continuity and public institutional links rather than a conventional private-owner model. That connection is central to the meaning of the Army nickname and to the club’s reputation for stability and structured development.

The club emerged in the early years after Morocco’s independence and became one of the established pillars of Moroccan football. Its domestic ecosystem is rooted in the top flight, with the Botola Pro as the principal league setting, while the Throne Cup is part of the club’s long-standing national competition landscape. FAR Rabat has also maintained a notable continental presence, appearing in CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup contexts and reflecting Moroccan club football’s wider African profile.

Stade Moulay Abdallah provides the principal stadium context in Rabat. The venue is a major national, multi-purpose ground associated with prominent domestic and international fixtures, placing the club within the capital’s broader sporting infrastructure. Red and black are the defining colours of the classic kit tradition, with red, green and black elements reflecting the military crest and Moroccan symbolism. The badge’s military references, crown and armed-forces imagery reinforce themes of strength, honour and duty.

FAR Rabat’s football culture blends experienced professionals, local talent and selective continental recruitment with an emphasis on youth development. That balance supports a club ecosystem in which institutional identity, competitive resilience and a broad domestic and African outlook remain closely connected.
