Gianni Infantino Sends Best Wishes to Teams Qualified for the U20 World Cup Quarterfinals in Chile

In his message, published on FIFA’s official channels, Mr. Infantino praised the exceptional level of play, sportsmanship, and passion that have defined this edition of the tournament, noting that the U20 World Cup serves as “a vital springboard for the young talents of world football.”

The FIFA President also congratulated national federations and coaches for their commitment to developing youth football, emphasizing that “the remarkable performances of these teams reflect the vitality of global football and the strength of youth.”

Among the most anticipated fixtures in these quarterfinals is the clash between Morocco and the United States, scheduled for Sunday, October 12, at 9:00 p.m. (GMT+1) at the El Teniente Stadium in Rancagua. This promising showdown will pit two nations that have impressed since the start of the tournament with their tactical discipline, collective cohesion, and shared ambition to make history.

The impressive run of the Atlas Lion Cubs, led by coach Mohamed Ouahbi, has captured the attention of the football world. After eliminating South Korea (2–1), the young Moroccan squad now embodies the hope and revival of African football, blending talent, determination, and strategic precision.

As Morocco prepares for a crucial battle for a spot in the semifinals, Gianni Infantino’s message stands as both recognition of the work accomplished by these young players and a call to continue competing in a spirit of respect and self-surpassing.

With just hours left before kickoff, the entire nation is holding its breath behind its young champions, believing that this remarkable journey in Chile could open a new chapter of glory for Moroccan football.
