Kenitra Athletic Club () is a Moroccan football club based in the city of Kenitra.

History

One of the oldest and most prestigious football teams in Morocco is Kenitra Athletic Club (KAC), which was established in 1938. The club, which is based in Kenitra in the northwest, has a long history that began before Morocco gained its independence in 1956 but gained national recognition after that year.

The early 1960s marked the start of KAC's most prosperous era, as the team rose to prominence in Moroccan football. The team's disciplined tactical play and well-organised roster helped them win their first Botola Pro (Moroccan League) championship in the 1959–60 season. Their first-ever Moroccan Throne Cup victory came in 1961, a historic milestone for the club in domestic cup competitions.

They won their second league championship in 1972–73, a season characterised by defence and consistency. The 1980–81 season saw KAC win their third league title following a close game in which they defeated other title challengers. Kenitra Athletic Club won their fourth and final Moroccan league title in 1982, marking the end of their golden era in top-flight football.

The club also claimed the Botola Pro D2 (second division) championship twice, in 1976, 2002, showcasing their resilience and ability to bounce back after relegations.

The team maintained its competitiveness in the top flight during the 1980s and the first part of the 1990s. However, KAC's success gradually declined as Moroccan football became increasingly professionalised. The squad spent numerous seasons in the second level after being relegated several times.

Notwithstanding these difficulties, KAC has maintained its strong local support and continues to be a source of pride for the city of Kenitra. The club is still focused on rebuilding and encouraging young development in an effort to regain its past grandeur, even if they haven't added any new trophy in decades.
