Atlas Cubs Crowned World Champions

Under 20 World Cup Final

Argentina 0-2 Morocco


In Santiago’s dusk the Atlas Cubs took flight

Their hearts ablaze beneath the crimson flame

The stars of Africa danced through the night

History bowed to whisper Morocco’s name


Yanis Benchaouch, a guardian brave and tall

Gloves kissed by turf, by thunder and by cheer

He soared through storms, defying every fall

Each save he made drew silence near


Ismaël Baouf patrolled the shadowed wing

Sliding steel where the brave dare tread

Ali Maamar’s lungs made freedom sing

Through roaring lungs and courage fed


Fouad Zahouani’s timing cold as stone

A tackle, clean and pure, no mercy’s trace

Takha Majni’s right flank a world of his own

Each stride a verse, each cross an embrace


Yassine Khalifi painted passes gold

With compass feet he shaped the field

Naim Byar’s press was fierce and bold

No rival’s rhythm left unconcealed


Hossam Essadak, a tireless drum

He powered the pivot, broke and fed

Saad El Haddad’s bursts would always come

To stir the pulse when dreams had fled


Gessime Yassine from the right did dart

A phantom blur, defenders spun

His crosses curled like works of art

Each movement sung beneath the sun


And Yassir Zabiri; the striker’s flame

He bent the free kick through Santiago’s sky

Two goals that sealed Morocco’s fame

And made the lion cubs learn to fly


Against Argentina’s storied might

They stood unmoved, their souls ablaze

Benchaouch leapt to save the night

And Maamar’s block drew endless praise


Zahouani cleared where danger slept

Majni swept low through dust and dream

Byar pressed high, and none were swept

Khalifi danced with fire’s gleam


Then came the whistle, that final cry

Red and green flew wild, untamed

Tears met the Chilean sky

As Morocco’s youth the world proclaimed.


The medals shone, the anthem soared

From Casablanca to Marrakech street

Each name forever now adored

Their boots have carved eternal beat


Yanis, Ibrahim, Abdelhakim’s grace

Ismaël, Ali, Fouad, Takha in flame

Hossam, Saad, Yassine’s chase

Naim, Othmane, Zabiri’s name


From desert dust to global stage,

The Atlas Cubs rewrote the lore,

Their hearts the ink, the world their page,

Morocco crowned, forevermore.
