Upon the High Instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan presided, on Wednesday at the Royal Palace in Rabat, over a ceremony offered by the Sovereign in honor of the members of the National Under-20 Football Team, following their triumph at the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup held in Chile.
On this occasion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was greeted by the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa, the National Team Coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, and the members of the National Team, before posing for a commemorative photo.
A tea ceremony was subsequently organized in honor of the members of the Under-20 National Team.
This reception reflects the High Benevolence with which His Majesty the King has continuously surrounded Moroccan youth, supporting their development through sport, and the particular interest the Sovereign attaches to this sector in general and to football in particular.
It follows the historic achievement of the Under-20 National Team, which won this world title—the first of its kind in the history of Moroccan and Arab football.
This triumph is fully in line with the enlightened and forward-looking vision of His Majesty the King, who has raised national sports training to the highest international standards, notably through the Mohammed VI Football Academy, a true incubator of Moroccan youth talent. It also stands as a deep source of national pride, showcasing with brilliance the values of effort, perseverance, and hard work that pave the way toward success and excellence.
Following the victory of the Atlas Cubs over the Argentine team in the final of the FIFA U20 World Cup, His Majesty the King sent a message of congratulations to the members of the national team, in which the Sovereign emphasized that the Moroccan team had honorably represented its country and youth, upholding the Kingdom’s and Africa’s standing as deserved.
