Morocco were crowned FIFA Arab Cup 2025 champions after a dramatic 3–2 victory over Jordan in extra time at Lusail Stadium, in front of a record-breaking crowd.
The Atlas Lions opened the scoring early, with Oussama Tannane netting in the fourth minute. Jordan responded fiercely, with Ali Olwan scoring twice — including a penalty — to give the Desert Falcons a temporary lead.
As regulation time wound down, Abdulrazak Hamdallah struck a late equaliser for Morocco, sending the match into extra time. Hamdallah proved decisive again in the 100th minute, scoring the winning goal to secure Morocco’s second Arab Cup title and their first since 2012.
Despite the loss, Jordan made history by reaching the Arab Cup final for the first time, marking a milestone for the team on the regional stage.
