Rabat: “It’s done. Morocco is world champion!’ writes Maliweb.net, hailing the team’s masterstroke in the final against daunting Argentina.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Mohamed Ouahbi’s players earned admiration for their cohesion and tactical intelligence, blending collective spirit with defensive solidity throughout an outstanding journey. The outlet highlighted the jubilant celebrations across Moroccan cities as supporters paraded through main streets to mark the hard-fought victory.

For its part, Senegal’s national broadcaster RTS described the triumph as a “historic moment” for both Morocco and the entire continent. “This is the Kingdom’s first-ever U-20 World Cup title, making Morocco only the second African nation to lift the trophy after Ghana in 2009,” RTS enthused, praising Yassir Zabiri’s decisive brace in the 12th and 29th minutes that underscored the Atlas Cubs’ dominance on the pitch.

Directactu considered the victory no stroke of luck but rather the result of long-term hard work. The outlet underlined the sports vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, grounded in modern infrastructure, rigorous training, and a strategy dedicated to nurturing ambitious young talents. According to the publication, Morocco’s consistent performance reflects an unstoppable momentum driving the Kingdom toward football’s global summits.

The Guinean Press Agency (AGP) viewed the triumph as the culmination of efforts by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, aligning with the 2030 World Cup that Morocco will co-host with Portugal and Spain. This success, the agency added, establishes the Kingdom as a new football powerhouse and reaffirms the vitality of African sport.

In the same vein, Guineenews celebrated Morocco’s historic victory, the first of its kind, highlighting the nation’s growing football prominence. The Ghanaian Times noted that Morocco becomes only the second African nation to win this title, after Ghana in 2009, describing the achievement as the continuation of a dynamic that began with Morocco’s fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup and its bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Similarly, Daily Graphic drew a parallel with the senior Atlas Lions’ performance in 2022, stressing that Morocco now stands as a true powerhouse of African football. The outlet recalled Morocco’s path to glory, defeating Spain, Brazil, France, and finally Argentina, demonstrating remarkable courage and tactical maturity before ceding the field to celebrations of an unprecedented national triumph.
