Morocco’s U20 team pulled off a historic achievement by winning the U20 World Cup 2025 for the first time ever, after a deserved 2-0 victory against Argentina in the final played in Santiago.
Star striker Yassir Zabiri led coach Mohamed Wahbi’s squad to glory, netting both decisive goals. The “Atlas Lions” thus become just the second African side to claim the U20 title, following Ghana’s 2009 triumph over Brazil in the final.
Moroccan sensation Othmane Maamma was named player of the tournament and received the Golden Ball, adding a prestigious individual honor to his country’s historic victory. His teammate Yassir Zabiri claimed the Silver Ball, while Argentina’s Milton Delgado took home the Bronze Ball.
Argentina’s Santino Barbi was voted best goalkeeper of the tournament, thanks to his outstanding performances and decisive contribution in taking his team to the final.
The top scorer award was shared by four players, each netting five goals: Yassir Zabiri (Morocco), Benjamin Cremaschi (USA), Néiser Villarreal (Colombia) and Lucas Michal (France). All were honored with the Golden Boot.
