Nasser Bourita and Fouzi Lekjaa in Santiago to Support the Atlas Lion Cubs in the U20 World Cup Final

The joint presence of these two senior officials reflects the national and institutional mobilization surrounding this exceptional generation that has proudly raised the Moroccan flag to the top of world football at the U20 level. Since the start of the tournament, the Lion Cubs have impressed with their talent, discipline and collective spirit, perfectly embodying the values of Moroccan sport and the royal vision for football development.

Nasser Bourita, whose presence symbolizes the Kingdom’s diplomatic and patriotic support, congratulated the players and the technical staff for their remarkable journey. He praised “the courage and determination of a Moroccan youth that honors the Nation in one of the world’s most prestigious sporting competitions.”

For his part, Fouzi Lekjaa, the architect of Morocco’s football revival, expressed his pride: “These young players are writing a glorious chapter in the history of Moroccan football. Their journey is proof that hard work, faith and discipline always pay off.”

The Atlas Lion Cubs, who have enjoyed a remarkable tournament marked by impressive victories against major football nations, are now preparing to play the first U20 World Cup final in their history. This historic achievement is the result of the efforts of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the enlightened vision of King Mohammed VI, who has made sport, and football in particular, a strategic driver of national pride and unity.

Tonight in Santiago, an entire Kingdom will be cheering for its young champions. All eyes in Morocco are on Chile, in anticipation of another glorious chapter for the Atlas Lion Cubs.
