Union Sportive Yacoub El Mansour (Arabic: الاتحاد الرياضي يعقوب المنصور), commonly known as US Yacoub El Mansour or USYM, is a Moroccan football club based in the Yacoub El Mansour district of Rabat. Founded in 1989, the club achieved its first-ever promotion to the Botola Pro, Morocco's top division, at the end of the 2024–25 season.[1]

History

On 18 May 2025, USYM secured promotion to Botola Pro for the first time in the club’s history with a goalless draw against Kawkab de Marrakech in the final round of Botola Pro D2. They finished the season second with 51 points.[2]

This accomplishment was described as the culmination of a long-term, ambitious strategy focused on youth development and team-building beginning years prior.[3]

Earlier, on 15 May 2025, the club moved into direct promotion position after a decisive 3–1 home victory over Rapide Club d’Oued-Zem, standing on the brink of their historic achievement.[4]

Ahead of their maiden season in the top flight, USYM strengthened its squad by signing six new players on 21 July 2025, signaling ambition to compete strongly among Morocco's elite.[5]

On 1 November 2025, USYM recorded their first-ever victory in the Botola, defeating RCA Zemamra 2–0 at the 6 November Stadium in Khemisset.[6]
