Morocco had never beaten Brazil at the U20 level—until now. That chapter is officially closed. The Cubs pulled off a stunning feat against the Seleção, just days after dominating Spain. These two victories mark a major turning point in the history of Moroccan and African football.
A Double Victory with Continental Significance
This achievement goes beyond Morocco. It symbolizes the rise of African football as a whole. Few nations on the continent had ever managed to bring down such giants. Morocco now joins this elite circle, signaling that a new era is beginning for African football.
Standout Talents Make the Difference
Amid this collective triumph, individual brilliance shone through. Yassine Jassim, who plays for US Dunkerque, once again stood out, earning the MVP title just as he did against Spain. His consistency and vision make him the technical leader of the Cubs. In goal, Yanis Benchaouch made multiple crucial saves, proving that Africa now has a generation of goalkeepers capable of competing with the world’s best.
Africa Looks to the Future with Confidence
These results reinforce the belief that the continent no longer suffers from an inferiority complex. With its consecutive victories, Morocco is showing the way, proving that Africa can rise to the global stage—even against the biggest footballing nations.
