History
editMC Oujda won the first two edition of the throne cup after defeating Wydad AC in both finals.[1][2]
Format
editThe current format features 4 preliminary rounds and the final phase. All games are one-legged.
The final phase starts with the Round of 32 where the 16 teams qualified from the fourth round are joined by all 16 Botola teams. Draws are "blind", meaning a Botola team can be drawn in one match with a team from the same league. The Round of 32 is followed by the Round of 16 matches, quarterfinals, semifinals and a final. Although not only one stadium has hosted the final, it is usually played in the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
