Monday, October 20, 2025 - Morocco made history by winning the FIFA U20 World Cup for the first time, defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago, Chile in the early hours of Monday morning.
Striker Yassir Zabiri scored twice as Morocco won its first
Under-20 World Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Argentina.
Zabiri scored in the 12th and 29th minutes of the final to
help Morocco become the first African nation to win the U20 title since Ghana
in 2009.
Morocco topped its group against Spain, Brazil, and Mexico
and then advanced over South Korea, the United States, and France in
the knockout stages.
It was the first loss in the tournament for Argentina, which
was aiming for its seventh title.
Argentina reached the final despite missing its two best
players in this age group, Bayer Leverkusen’s Claudio Echeverri and Real
Madrid´s Franco Mastantuono.
Reigning champions Uruguay failed to qualify for this year's
World Cup, after finishing fifth in the South American 2025 U-20 Championship
