Association Raja Ait Iazza Football Féminine (Arabic: جمعية رجاء أيت أيعزة لكرة القدم النسوية) is a professional women's football club based in Ait Iazza that competes in the Moroccan Women's Championship, a league at the top of the Moroccan Football pyramid.

History

The club was founded in 2012 in Ait Iaaza, located in the Taroudant Province. The region lacks a dedicated stadium for training and hosting opposing teams. As a result, the club plays its matches at the municipal stadium in Taroudant, where it also trains twice a week. For additional training sessions, the team is forced to practice in open spaces.

In the 2014–15 season, the club claimed the second division title, earning promotion to the first division. However, they were immediately relegated in the following season. They bounced back to the top flight in 2017 and continued to improve, achieving a fourth-place league finish in 2018.

The 2019–20 season marked a historic moment for Ait Iaaza, as they reached the final of the Moroccan Women's Throne Cup. This success was followed by their runner-up finish in the league during the 2020–21 season.
