It began on Friday 19 August 2011 with Maghreb Fez beating Hassania Agadir 2–0. Raja Casablanca are the holders of the title. Moghreb Tétouan won the 2011–12 Botola, after defeating the runner-up FUS Rabat in the last game of the season at Stade Moulay Abdellah, Rabat.[1][2][3] Both teams were pushing for the title until the last game.
