"The name that will dominate transfer headlines": Zabiri writes new chapter in African Football History
The name Yassir Zabiri will echo across European scouting rooms for months and likely dominate transfer headlines before long.
The 19 year old Moroccan forward announced himself to the world on Sunday night scoring both goals in Morocco’s 2 - 0 victory over Argentina to deliver the FIFA U20 World Cup title and etch his name into football history.
Zabiri’s brace at Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos didn’t just win Morocco their 1st ever U20 world crown .. it made him 1st Arab & African player in history to score twice in U20 World Cup final.

Record Breaking Tournament
Zabiri’s goalscoring run was relentless throughout the tournament. He scored in every major test Morocco faced:
- Goal vs Spain
- Goal vs Brazil
- Goal vs South Korea
- Two Goal vs Argentina (final)
With 5 goal, Zabiri's now Morocco’s all time top scorer at the U20 World Cup surpassing Mouhssine Iajour’s previous record of 3 goal set in 2005.
Zabiri. 🇲🇦🔥
