00:00A penalty. My best guess was that he was slotted to be number five in the list of five, but he had been mucked out.
00:12Sealed the win with the fourth. Here comes the trophy of the Total Energies Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
00:30Just in a few moments, he will be lifted by the captain, Ilyas Ben-Mokhtar.
00:38Arriving, there's Dr. Patrice Mozepe from South Africa, the president.
00:42Also recognized Augustin Senghor, executive committee member from Senegal.
00:51They'll be there to present the medals and trophies.
01:00Fouzi Lekia as well, the Moroccan community members there.
01:07The sunglasses at the center.
01:10Surely the happiest of the party.
01:17Here comes Issa Tunkara to accept the first award.
01:22Maddie will pick up the fair play award.
01:35Distinctive for being clean.
01:41Not conceding too many yellow cards.
01:44Of course, there was that blemish where the hand of Sumay Lafani pushed the ball into the back of the net.
01:53And of course, this player here, the star man of the match, Shouai Bellarouche.
01:56Aligno Aydara, the Côte d'Ivoire striker.
02:02Scored four in the opening match, if I recall correctly.
02:06Even scored against Maddie a double.
02:08Double.
02:12And now the player of the tournament.
02:15Without surprise for me is Abdallah Wazan.
02:18What star pedigree he has.
02:23Abdallah Wazan, just the destination.
02:27Because they did dazzle with their football.
02:29And under their manager, Adam Adieffle Diallo.
02:36Had a very difficult journey.
02:39Beat top, top opponents.
02:40Their group was difficult as well.
02:42Angola, Central African Republic.
02:44And Côte d'Ivoire.
02:46Tunisia.
02:48He does seem the happier of the bunch, doesn't he?
02:59It's Dr. Patrice Moutepe, South African president of the African Confederation of Football,
03:12who's placing the medals on each player.
03:14He's done so.
03:16Followed by a handshake.
03:18Or a handshake and then the medal, excuse me.
03:19These, however, the gold medals all players wish to wear with pride and love to brandish.
03:30The final player to be receiving his gold medal will surely be the captain.
03:36He has been booked up as his teammates will position themselves around the cup.
03:47And these photos, these are ones that they will look back on today, tomorrow.
03:54Time and time again, unforgettable memories from this final.
04:00He will receive the trophy from the executive committee.
04:28After taking a photo with them.
04:38And he's just seconds away from the moment that he's probably been dreaming about for the last weeks or even months.
04:45Ilyas Benmokhtar, step by step, getting into position.
04:49Your champions of the under-17 Africa Cup of Nations 2025 are Morocco.
04:58You see it again in playback, the celebration, they all jumped at the same time in synchronization.
05:16Magical scenes, much deserved from a Moroccan side who played their heart out.
05:22Didn't concede any goals today or in the semifinals.
05:27Didn't score an open play but converted each of their penalties.
05:31This under-17 generation is special though.
05:35.
