Morocco has just made world football history by winning the U20 World Cup for the first time, held this year in Chile.
In the final, the Atlas Lions masterfully dominated Argentina (2-0) with a brace from Zabiri in the 12th and 29th minutes.
This triumph crowns a talented generation and confirms the meteoric rise of Moroccan football on the international stage. It comes less than three years after the historic achievement of the senior national team, which reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar—the best performance ever by an African team in the tournament.
Morocco, which will host the next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (December 21 – January 18, 2026), is now establishing itself as an emerging global football power, combining youth development, discipline, and ambition.
