Unexpected Championship: Morocco's National Team Wins the U20 World Cup
On the night of October 20, 2025, the FIFA U-20 World Cup came to an end. The final was held at the "Nacional – Julio Martínez Pradanos" stadium in Santiago, Chile, where the youth teams of Argentina and Morocco faced off. The match ended with a 2-0 victory for Morocco. Thus, Morocco became the unexpected champion of the 2025 U20 World Cup, representing North Africa. The "Atlas Lions" achieved this success for the first time in their history.
The winning team's goals were scored by 20-year-old forward Yassir Zubiri, who was the hero of the match with his double. He scored the first goal in the 19th minute, putting his team ahead, and then doubled the lead with a goal in the 29th minute, securing Morocco’s confidence in their victory.
It is worth noting that in the 2023 U20 World Cup, Uruguay’s team was the champion. The team with the most titles is Argentina, which has won the tournament six times.
