Ghana’s record as the sole winners of the FIFA Under 20 World Cup from Africa is no longer in the wake of Morocco winning the 2025 edition.
The Black Satellites won the title in 2009 in Egypt in a thrilling penalty win over Brazil but Morocco lifted the world title in a more straight forward fashion as the North Africans beat Argentina 2-0 in Chile in the final.
Moroccan winger Mohamed Yassir Zabiri scored twice in the game in the 12th and 29th minute respectively to secure the win.
20 year old Zabiri scored the first of his two goals with a beautiful free kick just outside the penalty box after he was fouled by Argentine goalkeeper Santino Barbi.
His second came after meeting a cross from the right flank after a great piece of work from teammate Othmane Maamma to find Zabiri unmarked at the back post.
Maamma was named as the best player of the tournament.
Colombia beat France 1-0 to finish third in the tournament.
