In a vibrant and fraternal atmosphere, Nasser Bourita embodied the pride of the Moroccan people throughout the match, applauding the outstanding performance of the young Atlas Lion Cubs, who delivered a brilliant campaign culminating in a world title. At his side, Morocco’s ambassador to Chile, Kenza El Ghali, expressed her emotion, describing it as “a triumph that honors Moroccan youth and shines across the African continent.”
Following the 2-0 victory over Argentina, Nasser Bourita had the honor of presenting the Golden Boot trophy to Yassir Zbiri, a standout graduate of the Mohammed VI Football Academy and the hero of the final with his decisive brace.
This symbolic and emotional gesture reflects the success of a national model built upon the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who has made sport, and football in particular, a pillar of Morocco’s international prominence.
As Moroccan chants echoed through the Santiago night, Nasser Bourita, Fouzi Lekjaa, and the entire Moroccan delegation celebrated in unity with the supporters, fully aware they were witnessing a defining moment in the nation’s football history.
With this U20 World Cup triumph, Morocco has entered football’s global hall of fame, confirming its rise as one of the world’s emerging football powers.
