The Moroccan Under-20 national football team won their first World Cup in the category, defeating six-time champion Argentina 2-0.
Morocco is the second African nation to win the U20 World Cup, after Ghana in 2009 during the 17th edition in Egypt.
The final was played on Sunday night at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago, Chile.
The Atlas Lions secured this first world title thanks to a double from Yassir Zabiri.
The Futebol Clube de Famalicão striker, who already had three goals in the competition, scored his fourth and fifth goals of the tournament.
He thus secured his country a third major trophy in 2025, after the U17 Africa Cup of Nations and the African Nations Championship.
The Cherifian Kingdom will host the 2025 senior Africa Cup of Nations from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.
The Moroccans had a first half rich in chances, even though ball possession was largely in favor of the Argentinians.
The score was 2-0 at halftime in favor of the Cherifian Kingdom.
In the second half, the Moroccan team showed great solidity in their play to thwart the few attempts from their opponents.
The teammates of Moroccan captain Hossam Essadak maintained their 2-0 advantage until the final whistle.
