Rabat: Thanks to a clear and visionary Royal strategy, Morocco continues to shine on the global football stage, winning the U20 World Cup for the first time, a triumph that will be forever etched in the annals of national football, the media outlet notes.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the kingdom’s achievements, which have earned it recognition as a leading football nation, crown a forward-looking policy that positions sport as a lever for human, social, and territorial development. The news site recalls that since the 2008 National Sports Forum, Morocco has fostered, under the Sovereign’s guidance, a generation of ambitious athletes and managers aware of football’s role as a social cohesion tool and its potential for youth empowerment.

A key pillar of this sports policy is training, considered essential for identifying and nurturing young talents who will represent Morocco in international competitions. The Mohammed VI Football Academy serves as the cornerstone of this strategy, providing structured training and guidance. Several key players of the U20 World Cup-winning team, including star striker Yassir Zabiri, are products of this prestigious academy, the same source notes.

The report also highlights Royal-led investments in sports infrastructure, including local sports fields, regional training centers, and modern equipment, creating optimal environments for the development of young talent. This democratization of sports access has shaped a new generation of disciplined and talented Moroccan athletes, who excel on the international stage.
