The club emerged from the Moroccan resistance movement, with key figures such as Moulay Sassi Ben Ahmed El Alaoui Aboudarka and Mahjoub Ben Seddik playing pivotal roles in its establishment. The founding members, including notable intellectuals and resistance fighters, often convened at a café named Al Watan to discuss the club's formation. To navigate the restrictions imposed by French authorities, the presidency was temporarily held by Ben Abadji Hejji, a Muslim of Algerian origin, allowing the club to officially operate under Moroccan leadership.

The club quickly became a symbol of national pride and unity, competing in the Botola Pro, the top tier of Moroccan football. Raja's early years were marked by a strong community following and a commitment to promoting Moroccan talent, which laid the groundwork for its future successes.

Career & Clubs
Foundation and first steps (1949–1956)
Raja Club Athletic (abbreviated to Raja CA or RCA) was founded by the Moroccan resistance and more particularly by the honorary president Moulay Sassi Ben Ahmed El Alaoui Aboudarka and the heads of the Moroccan unions, in particular the first president of the Moroccan Workers' Union, Mahjoub Ben Seddik, as well as the former president of the Union of Arab Lawyers and ex-prime minister Mohamed Maâti Bouabid. Boujemaa Kadri took charge of the administrative organization, necessary for the foundation of Raja CA. Other personalities behind the club's creation included Tibari, Salah Medkouri, Mustapha Chemseddine, Karim Hajjaj, Si Ahmed Skalli Haddaoui, Choukri, Daoudi, Hachmi Nejjar, Mohamed Charfaoui, Laachfoubi El Bouazzaoui, Abdelkader Jalal, Naoui, and some other Moroccan intellectuals and resistance fighters who met often at a café named Al Watan (The homeland in English), owned at the time by Hmidou El Watani in Derb Sultan. The ban on entrusting the presidency of the club to a Moroccan is circumvented by leaving the chair for six months to Ben Abadji Hejji, a Muslim of Algerian origin who had the French nationality. The French authorities, are thus forced to accept that. After several attempts to find a name for the club, a draw between the names of Raja and Fath, allowed the name Raja, picked three consecutive times, to be chosen.
