The 2006–07 season is Raja Club Athletic's 58th season in existence and the club's 51st consecutive season in the top flight of Moroccan football. In addition to the domestic league, they are also participating in this season's editions of the Throne Cup and the Arab Champions league. This is the first season since 1992–93 without club legend Redouane El Haimer who retired and the first since 2000–01 without Merouane Zemmama who joined Hibernian FC in a controversial transfer.

Raja CA kicked off the season with a 8–0 home win against Markaz Tulkarem in the first round of the Arab Champions league.

Pre-season

On 12 July 2006, the club held its annual general meeting, which was marked by significant tension between the board of directors and some members. President Abdelhamid Souiri spoke at length to defend the board's record and explain controversial decisions, particularly Raja's withdrawal from the Throne Cup against Hassania Agadir, which he presented as a sporting and organizational choice, not a political one. Meanwhile, Secretary General Mustapha Hannaoui presented a particularly lengthy report, outlining the club's sporting results, administrative management and various activities during the season. The financial report showed a surplus of 3.8 million dirhams. Finally, Souiri announced that ODEP would return to Raja as a sponsor in September and selected 12 members to renew its committee: Salaheddine Mezouar, Rachid Andaloussi, Mohamed Al Arsi, Khalid Ibrahimi, Said Ouahbi, Karim Yousfi, Hassan Snini, Delhi, Abdellatif Amine, Mohieddine, Tahiri, and Mohamed Saïboub.[6]

During the 2006 summer transfer window, Raja experienced a wave of departures of key players such as Marouane Zemmama, Modibo Maïga, Abdelouahad Abdessamad, Tarik Bendamou, Noureddine Harouach, and the previous season's top scorer, Mustapha Bidoudane.[7][8][9]

On 2 August 2006, the club announced the list of 37 players selected by Oscar Fulloné to attend the training camp in Ifrane from August 4 to 24.[10]
