Morocco’s Under-20 national team has made history by winning the FIFA 2025 Under-20 World Cup, defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final. Striker Yassir Zabiri was instrumental in the victory, scoring both goals. The win has sparked widespread celebrations across the country, with fans taking to the streets to express their pride and jubilation.
In the capital city of Rabat, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the team’s achievement. Redouane Ouahidi, a proud supporter, praised the team’s performance, saying, “We are very happy and proud of the Moroccan U20 national team, the Cubs of the Atlas. They played a great match, and the players were excellent.” Ouahidi also expressed his gratitude to the players and the coach, adding, “We want to thank the players Zabiri and Maama, as well as the coach Wahbi.”
This victory marks a significant milestone for Morocco, as it is the country’s first win in the tournament. It is also the first time an African nation has taken the title since Ghana won in 2009. Morocco’s journey to the top was not easy, as they faced tough competition from teams like Spain, Brazil, and Mexico in the group stage, and later defeated South Korea, the United States, and France in the knockout stages.
The win is especially sweet for Moroccan fans, given that it was Argentina’s first loss in the tournament. Argentina, a seven-time champion, was a formidable opponent, making Morocco’s victory all the more impressive. Young supporter Chourouk Boutlaka summed up the mood, saying, “I loved the atmosphere, and I’m proud of my country, Morocco. I was thrilled by this victory, it’s a great win, especially since we defeated Argentina.”
The victory is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication. Morocco’s win has sent shockwaves of excitement across the football world, and the team’s achievement is being hailed as a historic moment for African football. As the country basks in the glory of its triumph, fans are already looking forward to the team’s future prospects, with many hoping that this victory will inspire a new generation of football players in Morocco.
