Moghreb Atlético Tetuán (Arabic: المغرب أتلتيكو تطوان; acronym MAT) is a Moroccan football club based in Tétouan, was founded in 2 December 1922.

For geographical, political, and economic reasons, the Spanish Football Federation refused to allow them to participate in the same competitions as mainland teams.

Despite mediocre results, the club managed to advance to the first division through a complete restructuring of the championship, coming from Ceuta and Melilla, Spanish enclaves in Morocco.

The Spanish Civil War that erupted in 1936 also caused mass departures of expatriate military personnel returning to their home country to fight on the front lines.

Under the leadership of President Julio Parrés López and with the arrival of numerous Spanish players and Andalusian coach Santiago Núñez, the club earned the opportunity to participate in the promotion playoffs to the second division.

After the Independence of Morocco, the club had a new committee and found themselves in the northern group in the play-offs to join the elite of the Moroccan league.

It was a historic moment for the club which not only won the title but also experienced the largest displacement of supporters (over 45,000 people) in the history of Moroccan football.

His mission was to save the team from relegation, but he took them to their first ever championship title in 2012—a feat even more remarkable when one takes into account that some of the senior players went on strike over unpaid wages, and Tetouan were forced to use inexperienced home grown youngsters instead.

But in the following season Tetouan were back in the title race again, knowing that success would be especially important with a place in the 2014 Club World Cup at stake for the winners.

First, Moghreb Tetouan were thrashed 5–0 by Raja Casablanca in the big game on the penultimate day of the season, seemingly losing the crown.

[3] On 25 May, they celebrated wildly as Raja Casablanca sensationally lost to Olympic Safi on the final day, gifting the championship title to Tetouan.

Moghreb Tetouan's reward for winning the 2013–2014 season of the Moroccan championship, Botola was a place in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco, their debut in the competition.

Their debut ended in disappointment after getting eliminated on the preliminary round as they went down on penalties to Auckland City FC, the side that has made more appearances in the competition than any other.

On December 24, 2014 Sergio Lobera was appointed as the new Moghreb Atletico Tetouan head coach[5] and successor of El Amri, joined by 2 Spaniards in the club's technical team Juanma Cruz as the goalkeeper coach and Manuel Sayabera as the Physical trainer and later joined by David Martin as the inferior categories' coach, it did not take long for the players to adapt to Lobera's philosophy, displaying unprecedented maturity and self-confidence, the team was back on track and started winning again, thanks to Lobera's brilliant strategies and his emphasis on teamwork, the team managed to pull off a historic African Champions League campaign after getting through the preliminary round for the first time (the team failed to do so under El Amri) after defeating Club Olympique de Bamako, (3–2), Kano Pillars in the first round (5–2) and then Al Ahly (1(4) – 1(3)) in the second round therefore making it to the Groups Stage for the first ever for the club (and since 10 years for a Moroccan club) In the Groups Stage Tetouan had a terrible start, in their first away game in Egypt against Smouha SC they had a 2 goals lead but conceded 3 goals in the last half-hour of the game therefore losing 3 – 2, the second game was a goalless tie against TP Mazembe at home soil, the third game ended with a 1 – 1 tie with Al-Hilal at home again however Tetouan managed to win an away game for the first time in Sudan, beating Al-Hilal in their home ground, It was the first time since the Sudani club loses in their home ground since 2011, (the score was 1 – 0) thus moving up from the last position to the 3rd, then to the 1st after beating Smouha SC 2 – 1 at home soil.

From 2016 to 2023, Moghreb Atlético Tetuán experienced a significant decline, marked by financial instability, management issues, and poor on-field performance.

Efforts to stabilize the club included new management after the resignation of President El Ghazi in 2023 and the election of an 'interim board of directors', but the journey to reclaim their former glory remained challenging.

Situated on the north bank of the River Martil, the stadium played host to a variety of sports thanks to the inclusion of a cinder athletics track.

Rudimentary bleachers were added once Atlético started to play in Campeonato Hispano-Marroquí, whilst officials could watch from a rather ornate raised, open terrace.

Club office and changing rooms were built in the south west corner and the pitch was access via a tunnel behind the southern goal.

Again on the opening day of the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup, Moghreb Atlético Tetuán was facing Auckland City FC in the preliminary round, a record breaking away crowd of more than 40,000 fans attended the match.
