Morocco completes miracle at U20 World Cup

Yassir Zabiri celebrates his goal.

Yassir Zabiri's double in the 12th and 29th minutes helped U20 Morocco create an earthquake. Because U20 Argentina had not lost a match since the beginning of the tournament and had a form that was almost destructive to opponents. However, against a rising U20 Morocco, the top candidate for the championship collapsed. Trailing 0-2 early, Argentina was stuck and could not find an equalizer.

This is the first time Morocco has won the U20 World Cup , marking a historic journey for the country's U20 team. By winning the 2025 U20 World Cup in Chile, the "Atlas Cubs" affirm the strength of the young generation and continue the legacy of their seniors.

After a decade of decline in the 2010s, Moroccan football is reaching new heights. At the national team level, at the end of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Africa, Morocco was the only team to win all their matches. They scored 22 goals in the match and only conceded 2.

The Atlas Lions not only completed their qualifying campaign with a perfect record, but also marked their 15th consecutive win, equaling the world record set by the Spanish team from June 2008 to June 2009.

Before Morocco, La Roja held the record for the longest winning streak in history (official matches only). Morocco's winning streak began in March 2023, shortly after they achieved a historic fourth place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar - a tournament that completely changed the face of Moroccan football.

Moroccan football is emerging as a global force that European and South American giants are wary of. The 2025 U20 World Cup title is proof of that.
