Football is the most popular sport in Morocco, with an estimated 55 percent of the population declaring an active interest in the sport. The sport was introduced to the region in the late nineteenth century by French expatriates, highlighted by the founding of Association Sportive des Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones (ASPTT) in Casablanca in 1892, two decades prior to the formal establishment of the French protectorate in 1912.
