Morocco’s U-20 team is honored by the crown prince in a royal ceremony following their FIFA World Cup victory.
On the orders of King Mohammed VI, Morocco’s U20 team was honored after winning the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile. The occasion, held in Rabat on Wednesday, was presided over by Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan.
Before taking a commemorative photo, the Crown Prince was welcomed by Mr. Mohamed Ouahbi, the coach of the national team, Mr. Fouzi Lekjaa, the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, and the players of the national team.
The U-20 national team members were then honored with a tea ceremony.
It comes after the first-ever world title in Moroccan and Arab football history was won by the national under-20 squad, marking a historic accomplishment.
Morocco’s success is entirely consistent with King Mohammed VI’s progressive and forward-thinking vision, which has raised national sports training to the highest international levels, particularly through the Mohammed VI Football Academy, which is a veritable breeding ground for future Moroccan talent.
It also serves as a great source of pride for the country and brilliantly illustrates the virtues of hard labor, perseverance, and effort that lead to success and achievement.
Following the victory of the Atlas Cubs against the Argentine team in the final of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, King Mohammed VI, sent a message of congratulations to the members of the national team, in which the he emphasized that the Moroccan team had honorably represented its country and its youth, as well as the African continent, with dignity and pride.
