Aspire 5 Stadium in Doha, Qatar, witnessed an incredible victory for the Moroccan U17 national team over New Caledonia in the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
The Atlas Lions triumphed 16-0 in a match where New Caledonia played with only nine men from the 31st minute.
This victory is the biggest win in the history of the U-17 World Cup, breaking the record held since 1997 by Spain, who defeated New Zealand 13-0 in Egypt.
This result is not unusual for New Caledonia, who suffered a 10-0 defeat to England in the 2023 edition in Indonesia.
This resounding victory revived the hopes of the Moroccans to reach the round of 32, as the Lions now have 3 points in third place with a goal difference of +8, which increases their chances of qualifying through the best 8 teams that finished third in the group stage.
