The procession moved along Bab Al-Safara Street near the Royal Palace, where crowds gathered in celebration of the team’s victory.

“When I heard the whistle and the announcement of the end of the match, I got chills all over my body, the kind of chills Moroccans know as pure joy from the heart. Praise be to God for this victory,” said Mariam Al-Mzabri, one of the elated supporters gathered in the capital.

Morocco captured the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile on Monday, defeating Argentina 2–0 in the final with two first-half goals from rising star Yassir Zabiri.

The victory is Morocco’s first-ever global football title and the first time an Arab nation has won a FIFA-organised competition. It also places Morocco alongside Ghana , which won the U-20 World Cup in 2009, as the only African nations to claim the prestigious trophy.
