Morocco become second African nation to win U-20 World Cup

Morocco made history after dispatching Argentina 2-0 in the final of the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.

Famalicão winger Yassir Zabiri produced a remarkable performance to guide his side to a historic victory.

The 20-year-old gave the North Africans the lead early, in the 12th minute, before adding the second a few minutes later.

Morocco held on to the 2-0 lead in the second half at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos.

Morocco has now become only the second African country to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup, after Ghana achieved that feat in 2009.

Colombia finished in third place after beating France by a lone goal in the third-place playoff.
