Morocco made history at the U20 World Cup in Chile, claiming its first-ever title and becoming the first team to successfully use FIFA’s new green card challenge system. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi, who credited his staff for the move, used the card twice during the tournament, once against Spain and again in the final versus Argentina, each time changing the course of the game.
Across Morocco, euphoric crowds poured into the streets after the Atlas Cubs’ 2–0 victory over Argentina crowned them U20 World Cup champions. From Tangier to Guerguerat, horns, chants, and flags filled the night as fans celebrated a triumph that united Moroccans from north to south in pride and joy.
