Moroccan Football Writes an Exceptional Year of Achievements in 2025

The year 2025 was not an ordinary year in the history of Moroccan football; rather, it was filled with gold and achievements, as the Moroccan teams imposed their presence continentally, Arabically, and internationally. This year turned into a historic milestone confirming that what Morocco is experiencing is not a mere surge but the result of a comprehensive football project reaping its rewards at various levels.

The most prominent crowning came with Morocco's national team winning the 2025 Arab Cup for the second time in its history, following an exciting 3-2 victory over Jordan in the final hosted by Qatar, adding a new title to a year full of successes for the "Atlas Lions."

Moroccan presence was not limited to the senior national team; the same year witnessed the Moroccan U-17 team winning the African U-17 Cup of Nations, before continuing their remarkable journey by reaching the quarter-finals of the U-17 World Cup.

The most notable achievement at the youth levels was the Moroccan U-20 team winning the U-20 World Cup for the first time in its history, after a historic campaign that eliminated major teams from Europe and South America, placing Moroccan football at the forefront of the global youth scene.

In the summer of 2025, Morocco reinforced its continental dominance by winning the African Nations Championship (CHAN) for the third time, before the reserve national team continued to assert its superiority by winning the Arab Cup.

At the club level, Moroccan representatives continued to collect titles, with Renaissance Berkane winning the CAF Confederation Cup for the third time in its history, while the Royal Army women's team succeeded in winning the CAF Women's Champions League for the second time.

The year of brilliance was not without individual awards, as Achraf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain star, won the African Player of the Year award for the first time in his career, after finishing runner-up for two consecutive seasons, concluding a golden year for Morocco that combined collective titles and individual honors.
