History
Founded in 2019 by its president Ahmed Ahsane, the club managed to secure promotion to Moroccan Division 2 Féminine during the 2019–20 season. After spending three seasons in the second tier, the Marrakchi club secured promotion in the 2022–23 season by finishing first in the South Group and later placed second overall after falling to CS Hilal Temara in the final. In February 2024, Rachid Ghaflaoui was appointed as the technical director of the academy.
Identity
Phoenix's colours are "white", "pinkish-red", and "black". Its crest features concentric rings in red and black, with a stylized phoenix in the center, its wings outstretched in red and black, holding a ball. The phoenix is positioned within a shield-shaped area, symbolizing resilience and strength, while the design emphasizes the club's forward momentum. The crest serves as a reminder to always rise and soar.

Why this record matters
The phrase “women's football club in Marrakech” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130232602. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
