The Moroccan Women's Championship D2, officially the Women's Professional National Football Championship D2 (French: Championnat National Professionnel de Football Féminin D2; Arabic: البطولة الوطنية الاحترافية لكرة القدم النسائية القسم الثاني) is the second-tier professional women's football league in Morocco. The competition is overseen by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and organized by the LNFF (French: Ligue Nationale de Football Féminin).
RS Berkane, the defending champions, won their first title in 2024 beating RCA Zemamra 3–2 in the final.[1] They have since been promoted to a higher league.
