The Botola Pro 2 (Arabic: البطولة الوطنية الإحترافية الثانية, romanized: al-Buṭūla al-Waṭaniyya al-Iḥtirāfiyya al-thaania, lit. "Professional National Championship 2"), officially known as the Botola Pro 2 Inwi for sponsorship reasons,[1] is a professional association football league in Morocco and the second tier of the Moroccan football league system. Organized by the Ligue Nationale de Football Professionnel (LNFP), under the authority of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the league features 16 clubs and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with Botola Pro.[2]
The league was created on June 11, 1915, in Morocco during the French protectorate, by the Moroccan Federation of Athletic Sports (FMSA), and was governed by the FMSA until 1922, when the League of Morocco of Football Association took over.
IR Tanger and MA Tétouan are the most successful clubs in the competition, with 6 titles each. KAC Marrakech is the current title holder.

History
From 1915 to 1957, during the French Protectorate in Morocco, the Moroccan national championship was administered by three federations: USFSA - CR Maroc (1915 to 1917), Fédération Marocaine des Sports Athlétiques (1917 to 1921), and the Moroccan League of Association Football (1921 to 1957).
The championship of the first division promotion, as it was known since its founding in 1924, ran concurrently with the Moroccan Division of Honour competition and consisted of two groups: North and South. The clubs who placed first and second in each of the division's two regions—the Chaouia League and the Sultanate League—advanced to the semi-finals, where a single champion and runner-up would face off.
During Morocco's French Protectorate, which ran from 1915 to 1956
The Independence Cup was established in 1956, the year of independence, to divide the clubs into various categories for the next United Kingdom championship season. To replace the clubs below (the French protectors' clubs) in the first division, the top teams in the competition that are not among the elite would compete in play-off matches.[3]
